The Council for Geoscience (CGS) cordially invites you to
attend the first IASPEI general assembly to be held on the African continent in
Cape Town, South Africa!
The African plate exhibits three
main types of seismicity, strongly related to the long and complex geological
history dating back some 3,7 billion years:
- Intraplate ・with its low level of seismic activity randomly distributed in
space and time;
- Continental rifting ・associated with the East African Rift System;
and
- Induced ・associated with large reservoirs and deep mining, such as the gold
mining operations found in some areas on the Kaapvaal Craton. (The Kaapvaal
Craton, particularly South Africa, boasts a geological record that is
characterised by an almost complete geochronological succession of events that
can be traced without major inter ruptions from the Archaean up to Recent
times.)
IASPEI 2009 provides an ideal platform for geoscientists
across the world to discuss these seismological topics.
The Geohost Financial Assistance Programme
The Geohost Programme
is a financial support programme to assist individual scientists and students
mainly from developing countries to attend the General Assembly by partially
subsidising their expenses.
Each applicant to the Geohost Programme may

Applicants will be selected using the following
criteria:

- financial need, as documented in a letter from the applicant.
Priority will be given to younger scientists and graduate students
with proven academic attainments.
