This is a map showing the distribution of mineral resources in Africa. The information used here is from the work of the U.S. Geological Survey, and details can be found in this geodatabase. This website is built as a Legacy Project for the Women in Geospatial Mentorship Programme 2024.
This frontend is supported by a backend system comprising of:
- a Postgis database holding the spatial information about the countries and resources.
- Geoserver, that exposes the data from the database as WFS layers used here
- Node (16+)
- Yarn/NPM
- Open Layers
