Geology of the Tekeze River basin (Northern Ethiopia)

We present a geologic map of the Tekeze River basin that covers an area of ∼69,000 km2 of northern Ethiopia. The map synthesizes new data collected in two campaigns between March, 2012 and January, 2013 and compiled at a scale of 1:500,000 with published geologic surveys. The map focuses on the main geologic and tectonic features relevant to a modern interpretation of the geologic evolution of northern Ethiopia and as such, it represents an important synthesis for environmental and natural resource management.
