Research on the southern Barberton greenstone belt (in action)
 

Within this framework, magnetotelluric (MT) data were collected across one of the oldest continental collisions in the Archean, the Barberton Greenstone Belt in South Africa, to study continental accretion processes. New MT measurements in this region are planned for 2010.
 

New Inkaba yeAfrica students from Germany, Xiaoming Chen and Andreas Nube are seen here doing MT field experiments within the Inkaba yeAfrica project -  with their supervisor, Dr Ute Weckmann.  Students assist with processing and interpretation of MT data
and developing novel interpretation and modeling methods.

The title of Xaioming Chen's research:  Constraint 2D anisotropic inversion of the MT data along the Agulhas-Karoo transect and Andreas Nube's :  Magnetotelluric measurements across the southern Barberton greenstone belt : data analysis. 

A new SA 2009 student from UCT, Scott MacLennan was part of this group with his title being:  Magnetotelluric experiment across southern Barberton Greenstone Belt: a students' perspective of the field work.
