How Namibia’s geoscientists see their role within communities Namibia is one of the world’s leading uranium producers. It also has significant deposits of diamonds, gold, zinc, copper and rare earth elements. As these sectors evolve, there’s a need for geoscientists to communicate with the public, as well as communities. Geoscientists study the earth: its rocks, water, minerals and hazards.

In Namibia, they work in government bodies, mining and petroleum companies, and at universities, guiding everything from mineral exploration to groundwater management and land-use planning.
