Russia and Zimbabwe have successfully conducted their first joint geological mission, involving experts and students from the University of Zimbabwe and the Russian State University for Geological Prospecting. The expedition focused on the Magondi belt in northwest Zimbabwe, a region rich in geological insights, where the team collected rock samples and made paleontological discoveries. This collaboration also saw the establishment of two environmental monitoring stations, ECOGEOSCAN 1 and 2, at the University of Zimbabwe, marking a milestone in bilateral scientific cooperation. The stations will enhance research on ecosystems and climate patterns in the region, leading to a better understanding of the evolution of the earth’s crust in this part of Africa.
