Depth estimation of pre-Kalahari basement in Southern Angola using seismic nois...
Carvalho, João; Alves, Daniela; Borges, José Fernando; Caldeira, Bento; Cordeiro, Domingos; Machadinho, Ana; Oliveira, Álvaro; Ramalho, ElsaABSTRACT: The remote Southern region of Angola is covered by siliciclastic Kalahari Cenozoic formations that host underground aquifers of great importance to local populations affected by water scarcity problems. These aquifers are well developed where Kalahari sands reach appropriate thicknesses. On the other hand, at the eastern end of this area, regional aeromagnetic data recently acquired suggested the poss...
Contribution of the time domain electromagnetic method to the study of the Kala...
Francés, Alain Pascal; Ramalho, Elsa; Santos, Fernando Monteiro; Llorente, J.; Mateus, T.; Martín-Banda, Raquel; Cuervo, I.; Lobón, Jose Luis GarciaABSTRACT: The Cunene Province (Southern Angola) is facing recurrent and pluriannual droughts. Surface water supply could be reinforced using the groundwater resources of the multilayered aquifer systems (MAS) hosted in the siliciclastic sediments of the Kalahari Group. The MAS were first identified in the early 2000s in Northern Namibia and recently in the Cunene Province, by studies of the PLANAGEO project bas...

Ramalho, Elsa; Francés, Alain Pascal; Martín-Banda, Raquel; Mateus, T.; Llorente, J.; Famorosa, A.; Cuervo, I.; Lobón, Jose Luis GarciaSUMMARY: Within the scope of the PLANAGEO project, the assessment of the KOS and KOH transboundary multilayered aquifer systems, located in the province of Cunene, southern Angola, without significant hydrogeological research in the last 50 years, was conducted. The drilling location of 5 deep boreholes was selected after the processing and interpretation of legacy and recently acquired geophysical data within ...
New insights on the ultramafic intrusions surrounding the Kunene Anorthosite Co...
Represas, Patricia; Sousa, Pedro; Morais, Igor; Cordeiro, Domingos; Carvalho, João; Batista, Maria Joao; Dito, Manuel; Llorente, J.; Marques, FábioABSTRACT: The Kunene Anorthosite Complex (KAC), located in SW Angola, is one of the largest anorthosite structures in the world. Dating from the Mesoproterozoic, its installation process is still not clear. Several mafic and ultramafic outcrops can be found surrounding the KAC. Once considered related with its emplacement, the study of these bodies may help us understand the history of this unique geological fe...

Francés, Alain Pascal; Ramalho, Elsa; Santos, Fernando Monteiro; Llorente, J.; Mateus, T.; Cuervo, I.; Lobón, Jose Luis Garcia; Dala, V.; Ditutala, M.SUMMARY: Under the scope of project PLANAGEO, a geophysical survey using the time domain electromagnetic (TDEM) method was planned and conducted. This survey aimed to contribute to the hydrogeological conceptual model of the KOS and KOH aquifer systems, to validate the 1960 data electrical resistivity reprocessing and to define the future location of deep boreholes. The TDEM survey allowed identifying different...
