A 2020 Look Ahead for the Africa Region YPs
Last year was an exciting one in the AAPG Africa Region. Our young professionals population increased and we held a number of interesting YP-focused activities across the region with excellent feedback.
In Nigeria we have continued to leverage very strongly on our partnership with the Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists. AAPG-AR and NAPE (not to be confused with the North American Property Expo Summit happening this month in Houston) work hand-in-hand to jointly organize and run YP programs. A couple of technical workshops for students and YPs were held in different parts of the country – Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Uyo. Several mini-courses on geomodelling, reservoir geophysics, operations geology and seismic interpretation were offered to YPs and students.
The icing on the cake was a two-day data analytics “boot camp” held in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, which was completely sold-out weeks before it was held and was a resounding success. The event offered hands-on training in Python Programming and an introduction to Big Data and its

Tonga eruption caused fastest ever underwater flow
NIWA and the UK’s National Oceanography Centre (NOC) say that the flows travelled at speeds of up to 122km/hour – up to 50% faster than any other recorded.This new analysis, made possible by the NIWA-Nippon Foundation Tonga Eruption Seabed Mapping Project (TESMaP), comes after earlier results showed the eruption of Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai remobilised a staggering 10km3 of material from the seafloor. As material from the volcanic eruption collapsed into the ocean, this triggered a...
