The Africa Earth Observatory Network is a new initiative that is
multi-disciplinary, inter-institutional and international, dovetailing
African needs to understand natural resources and govern its commons, with a
strong training and capacity-building component that has been carefully
aligned with R&D strategies of the world. A team of African scientists
will develop a common space from which to survey and test Earth System
evolution, resource economics and the resilience of the environment, and to
develop robust Earth Stewardship models. Their task: to track co-evolution of
Earth and Life to facilitate better planning for the future and ensure that
we Arrive Alive 50 years from now. AEON will provide concrete
and far-reaching socio-political advances. It represents a unique
opportunity to train, in concert, a new generation of African students and researchers
from multicultural backgrounds in cutting-edge Earth Stewardship Science, and
will reach out to the African public. AEON is a catalyst for
scientific and technological advances with spinoffs that are truly integrated with the
socio-economic needs of Africa, including resource exploration and
exploitation, geospatial planning and environmental development, river basin
management, natural hazard prediction, and Earth Stewardship. Why
