Moctar Doucouré is a Malian-born South African with an Engineering degree in exploration geophysics from the Petroleum Institute of Algiers and a PhD in geophysics from the University of Paris, France, followed by a postdoctoral Fellowship in Marine Geophysics at the University of Witwatersrand, South Africa. His professional experience includes research using a variety of potential field techniques such as gravity and magnetics, computer applications and science/maths teaching. Currently, his research projects span a range of academic and applied interests with emphasis on the African continent and its off-shore environment. A particular focus of his current research is the subsurface structure of Africa through characterisation of its crust and mantle. |

Moctar has field experience throughout Africa as well as across the
world's oceans. He is presently a Senior Research Officer in the Department
of Geological Sciences, Univ of Cape Town; and he is the systems manager of
the CIGCES (Centre for Graphical Computing of Earth Systems
at UCT). His research focus in AEON will be the
physical characterization and 3-D visualisation of Africa using gravity,
magnetic, seismic and other remotely sensed data, with applications for
resource targeting. Moctar is presently working on a project with De Beers
African Exploration. |
