Welcome to the Geosint web site

Welcome to the home of the MP18 "Geointelligence for Natural Resource Evaluation and Sustainable Management" course. On this site, you will find resources connected with the topics of the course and the case study around Chadian oil projects.

The MP18/NTNU1 "Geointelligence" course was created in 1999 by Jean-Marie Monget from Mines ParisTech and Richard Sinding-Larsen from NTNU.
