  • Occurrence of Bentonite in Ethiopia
    Bentonitic clay resources are found in the Afar and oromia regions. They are easily  accessible, as  they  are  located near the main road.    The main occurrences in afar are located at Ledi, Gewane, Hadar and Warseiso.   The bentonitic beds are part of a thick sequence  of  lacustrine  sediments, which consists of clays, silts, sands,...

    Background GSE has five technical core processes to produce surface and subsurface geoscience data. The Drilling Service Center is a service rendering center under the GSE.The service includes core drilling, water and deep well drilling.  Objective The main objectives of the Center are to carry out core drilling, water well drilling, geothermal deep well drilling and conducting...
  • Geochemical and Mineralogy Geotechnical Laboratories
    The Geo-chemical and Mineralogy & Geo-technical Laboratories were founded in 1958 for the analysis of  precious metals under the name of Ministry of Mines Laboratory. After two decades, in 1983, the laboratories expanded to have six laboratories and thew were renamed as Geo-chemical and Mineralogy & Geo-technical Laboratories . They were restructured  and have...
  • Geothermal Study
    Ethiopia’s energy sector is dominated by traditional biomass fuel (>90 %) such as firewood, agricultural waste and animal dung.  Modern energy demands are met mainly by hydro (2%) and petroleum (6%) that contributes to about 8 % of the total energy supply.  This situation has created a constant pressure on the already depleted forestry...
  • Geo-hazard Investigation
    The GHICP is one of the core processes in the GSE. It was established in 2008 to study landslides, ground settlements, slope failures, slope or foundation deformations due to construction works, geo-environmental pollutions, volcanic and earthquake hazards. These are events caused by geological features and processes that bring severe threats and disaster to humans,...

  • Basic Geoscience Mapping
    OVERVIEW More systematic geoscience mapping in the country was started since the establishment of the Geological Survey of Ethiopia (GSE) in 1968. Since then, Regional geologic mapping, Regional geophysical mapping (land gravity and airborne (magnetic and radiometric), and Regional geochemical mapping have been conducted and administered respectively by Regional Geology and Geochemistry Department, Geophysics Department,...
  • Mineral Exploration and Evaluation
    OVERVIEW Modern mineral exploration was introduced in the country during the 1960s when the United Nations Development program (UNDP) executed a mineral survey in western and southern Ethiopia. Systematic and integrated mineral exploration started when the Economic Minerals Exploration Department was organized in 1984 with the establishment of the Ethiopian Institute of Geological surveys (EIGS)....
