Description

SAGA 2024 will immediately follow the SEG 2024 Conference at the Windhoek International Convention Centre (formally the Safari Conference Centre) enabling close engagement between the disciplines of economic geology and geophysics. The consecutive events will provide opportunities to explore new partnerships and harness synergies as attendees meet under the theme of Collaborative Geoscience for Critical Supply.

As the impacts of the 4IR increase, improving operational efficiency, effectiveness and cost saving through digital transformation, key critical supply challenges remain. Materials needed to develop and power contemporary technologies, and sustainability, in areas such as water, are critical to not only sustaining life, but also to enable most industrial processes.

As we convene for SAGA 2024 in one of the top 10 most arid countries globally, we set our focus on the management and preservation of precious water resources. Namibia has a strong record of success in the application of remote sensing and geophysical technologies to explore for subsurface mineral and energy resources, and managing and preserving groundwater. Critical materials supply also directly impacts sustainable living. SAGA 2024 will showcase contemporary and innovative solutions to meet growing discovery and extraction demand as well as the necessary countermeasures. With globally increasing industrial activities, the challenge of achieving Net Zero necessarily accelerates, with geoscientific solutions such as underground carbon storage significantly mitigating the climate impact of our ever-growing demand.
