The Workshop was held in conjunction with the AfricaArray (see http://www. africaarry.org) Workshop, which was held on November 20-21, 2011, and the UNAVCO GPS Short Course held on November 17-19, 2011 (Figure 1). The goals of the Workshop were (1) to advance and inform the potential progress towards low-latency hydrogeodetic products that would efficiently support The IGCP 565 Project (2008-2012) has been organizing a sequence of annual workshops that have successively addressed scientific questions related to the development of hydrogeodetic products for regional water management. The first workshop held in 2008 in San Francisco, USA identified the open scientific questions related to the water cycle and regional water management and the extent to which geodetic observations could help improve monitoring and address scientific questions based on such observations.

Thierry De Putter (Belgium) demonstrated the results of investigation of the impacts of mining of copper and cobalt ores in particular on the human health in the Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The results indicate that the major problem poses the artisanal mining of cobalt ores. Benoit Nemery (Belgium) presented a comprehensive paper dealing with potential adverse health effects of environmental and occupational exposure of minerals containing cobalt and associated metals. Antoine Mulaba-Bafubiandi from South Africa presented a contribution dealing with the impact of artisanal gold mining in the khuruleni area (east of Johannesburg) on water resources and their possible decontamination. Bohdan Kribek from Czech Republic demonstrated the results achieved during a long-term investigation carried out by Czech teams in Zambia. He also summarized the results of environmental- e3] geochemical mapping in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia and presented a publication “Environmental-geochemical atlas of the central-northern part of the Copperbelt” and the results achieved by the team of Czech geologists in the environs of the city of Kabwe that are strongly affected by emissions from the former lead and zinc smelter. Rosina Leonard (Namibia) gave a talk on Environmental Code of Practice that is used in the assessment of environmental hazards arising from artisanal mining in Namibia. This manual should be an inspi- ration for other African countries in an effort to mitigate the impacts of artisanal mining on the environment and human health. Rainer Ellmies (Germany and Namibia) presented the principles of strategic environmental management plan that was worked out for better or unbiased assessment of environ- mental hazards in the central sector of the Namib uranium-bearing province in Namibia and Benjamin Mapani from Namibia dealt in his talk with the contents of metals and metaloids in urine and blood of the population living around the Copper Smelter Complex in the Tsumeb municipality. The results showed enhanced contents of lead and arsenic in urine and blood of people living close to the smelter. Frederick Kamona (Namibia) reported the results of environmental- geochemical mapping in the area of currently

These two cultural events gave more human dimension to the conference and allowed the participants to have an introduction the rich Moroccan culture. dedicated to UNESCO and IUGS-COGE initiatives on geoscience education in Africa. international organizations. During the meeting, Prof. Ezzoura Errami presented the history of the creation, challenges and perspectives of the AGN. This was followed by the introduction of the AGN bureau members which are Prof Ezzoura ERRAMI (Morocco) - Coordinator; Dr. Lala Andrianaivo (Madagascar) - Secretary general and Dr. Marcelle Gauly (Ivory Coast) - Treasurer. The AGN representative of many African and Arabian countries confirmed their will to serve (the complete list will be available on the AGN website). After a long discussion, it was decided that the AGN will be a project of AAWG and will serve Africa and the Arab World. It was also decided that the second conference on African and Arabian geoparks will be held in 3 years. The future venue will be decided in one year time on the basis that the host country will do much work concerning the promotion and the creation of geoparks. Waiting for the next conference, many workshops will be organized in many African and Arabian countries in order to promote the concept and build the capacity of local population. Three countries (Tunisia, Senegal and Yemen) proposed their candidature to host the next workshops. The dates will be provided latter. A closing meeting was dedicated to the African Association of Women in Geosciences and its future.

This FICAAG helped to build the capacity of the participants, to share experiences, to promote the geoparks concept for society. The conference also plays a crucial role in stimulating scientific collaboration and networking within African and Arabian countries and the international community involved in geoparks and geoconservation. The main outcomes of the conference are (1) “E] Jadida Declaration”; (2) the organization

Thousands of geoscientists and over 100 institutes have been involved in the program, including some international collaborators. During its initial phase in 2008 - 2012, SinoProbe carried out national-wide geochemical baseline and MT Array (by 4°x4°, and 1°x1° in North China and Tibet), deep seismic reflection, refraction, and broad- band seismic profiles with the total length about 5500 km across the major orogens and basins in Tibet, South and North China, and Northeastern China, 3D exploration in ore deposit districts in eastern China, severa continental scientific drilling holes, regiona' in-situ stress monitoring nets, geodynamic modeling of the lithosphere over the mainland of China, the development of some key The ISDEL not only focused on the updated progress of the SinoProbe — Deep Exploration in China, but also took great concern on the recent researches of the lithosphere across the world. It had served as a platform where the participants could exchange ideas and progresses in deep exploration of the lithosphere, better understand the deep processes of the earth, and promote the international collaboration
