Description

ABSTRACT: IGEO (Geological Institute of Angola) has developed the sosubprograms was focused on the remote sensing survey of the country. The main objective of the study is the use of satellite Earth Observation data in order to support preliminary geological and regolith mapping. This allows us to obtain a first approximation to cartography 1:250.000. Litho-structural and regolith maps are elaborated over eight blocks, covering one-third of the country area and including different geological contexts.
