Structural Interpretation of the Mamfe Sedimentary Basin of Southwestern Cameroon along the Manyu River Using Audiomagnetotellurics Survey [PDF]
International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Five audiofrequency magnetotelluric AMT soundings were collected northwest‐southeast along the Manyu river in the Mamfe sedimentary basin of southwestern Cameroon. The soundings were performed with frequencies in the range 3 to 2500 Hz and covered a distance of approximately 28 km. Sounding curves and geoelectric and geological sections were processed,

Journal of African Earth Sciences, 2021 Abstract A palynological investigation of sixteen (16) outcrops from Mamfe Basin, southwest Cameroon, has been carried out using spores, pollen and organic matter components to establish the biostratigraphic framework of the basin and reconstruct the depositional and paleoclimatic conditions. The inferred climatic trend is based on the distribution
