The greatest scientific birthday meeting of all times celebrated Kevin Burke (80) and Lewis Ashwal (60)! Both lost their hearts to African geology, Kevin originally through his early research positions in Ghana and Nigeria, a great many decades ago, while Lewis left the 'Bronx' and moved permanently to South Africa nearly 20 years ago. They have remained friends and colleagues since the Lunar and Planetary Institute days in the 1980s, they still work and speak to each other, and both have enjoyed great scientific success in diverse scientific fields.
The 'Out of Africa' conference highlighted a broad range of Earth Science
investigations of the African continent and its margins, linked to the
work of Kevin and Lew. The meeting was a great success with over 90
participants,
37 oral contributions and more than 20 poster presentations.
We hope that new collaborations will come out of this event!
We solicit contributions for a
Special Publication covering the broad topic of African Geology and
Geophysics, in honour of Kevin Burke and Lewis Ashwal.
Please consider contributing a manuscript!
