CIGCES carries out
research in various fields of Earth Science and uses intelligent graphical
computing and spacial analysis, such as The Centre provides a
forum for students of different national, cultural and academic backgrounds
to develop skills in creative use of information and visualisation technology
and to integrate their to help better understand how the Earth works. The academic program
at the CIGCES is linked to a wide range of basic research projects within an
applications-oriented environment; we aim to combine our scientific
measurements and observations into visual end-products. Computers and computation are the common
denominator in pursue of multidisciplinary mergers of previously separate
scientific domains, particularly within the natural sciences. Special attention is also paid to social and economic
needs, especially in Throughout this, we are discovering and cultivating a new
set of shared intellectual and practical concerns of the complexities within
natural and social systems. |

Funding to establish the Centre was initially provided by
a donation from the South African Mining and Exploration Industry and the Operational costs are covered by South African government
research grants through the National Research Foundation (NRF) and through
THRIP (Technology and Human Resources for Industry Programme). Contractural and consulting work for the mineral exploration industry covers some of the salaries of CIGCES researchers. |
