Regional Interpretation Of The Airborne Magnetic Data From Northern And Central Namibia

Interpretation results of refined regional airborne magnetic survey data<br>over northern and central Namibia are reported. Significant new findings<br>with regard to the regional geology, tectonic pattern and geodynamic are:<br>• Seven major crustal domains have been outlined on behalf of their<br>magnetic anomaly pattern.<br>• Four directional magnetic lineament sets occur in the region: NW/SE,<br>NE/SW and to a minor degree E/W, N/S. The latter seem generally to<br>be longer in extent than the former.<br>• Magnetization along the southern rim of the Angola craton is extremely<br>high as modelling has shown. Serpentinized mafic rocks are strongly<br>supposed to be the magnetic source material.
