Introduction to this special section: Africa

Abstract

Africa has long been a place for successful mineral and oil and gas exploration; however, the diversity of geology, technical innovation, and opportunity make it a unique place. A single special section cannot hope to capture the breadth of the geophysical activity going on today somewhere on the continent. But we hope that with this issue we at least make a dent in the subject by offering a good variety of papers from both hard rock and hydrocarbon exploration.
