Wealth and poverty in mining Africa: Migration, settlement and occupational change in Tanzania during the global mineral boom, 2002-2012
This article interrogates place, process and people’s quest for enhanced welfare during the 2002–2012 global mineral price boom in northwest Tanzania. Mass in-migration of miners, traders and service providers generated diversified residential settlements. Processes of occupational change and urbanization, catalyzed by acquisition of employment, land, housing and other possessions at six contrasting mining locations were compared from a geo-socia…
Mineralized Urbanization in Africa in the Twenty-First Century: Becoming Urban through Mining Extraction
This article focuses on the urbanizing impact of the post-millennial mineral boom at artisanal and small-scale (ASM) or large-scale (LSM) mining sites in three mineral-rich countries, involving gold in Ghana, diamonds in Angola, and both minerals in Tanzania. The focus is on comparing the agency of miners and other residents migrating to, settling in, and making the mining site habitable. Their mobility and settlement patterns reveal an urbanizat…
Mining habitat, house and home during an East African gold boom: Economic and Emotional Dimensions
This article interrogates migrants’ economic and emotionally entwined decision-making regarding migration and settlement in unfolding stages of a gold mining boom. Three Tanzanian gold mining settlements representing temporal, spatial and scalar differences along the gold mining trajectory are contrasted: an artisanal rush site, a mature artisanal mining settlement and Geita town, site of a large industrial gold mine. Our data derives from in-dep…
Mining mobility and settlement during an East African gold boom: Seeking fortune and accommodating fate
In light of Shiller’s concept of ‘irrational exuberance’, we interrogate migrants’ optimistic material expectations at artisanal and industrial gold mining locations during a period of exceptional mobility spurred by the international gold boom of 2000–2013. Our household survey and interview findings reveal miners’ and residents’ mobility and settlement patterns in three Tanzanian gold mining settlements, representing different stages and forms …
Getting grounded? Miners’ migration, housing and urban settlement in Tanzania, 1980–2012
Unearthing treasure and trouble: Mining as an impetus to urbanisation in Tanzania
Despite an abundance of mineral wealth and an ancient history of gold trading, Tanzania is a relative latecomer to the experience of being a mineral-dominated national economy. Both the British colonial state and Nyerere's post-colonial state avoided encouraging, and only reluctantly provided support to, large- and small-scale mining. Farming constituted the livelihood for the vast majority of the population and peasant agricultural exports provi…

Surficial geology and geomorphology of the Brúarjökull surging glacier landsystem
Please click here to download the map associated with this article. A 1:30,000 scale map poster of the snout and proglacial landscape of the surging Icelandic glacier Bruarjokull, provides a spatial and temporal assessment of the geomorphic impacts of surging in glaciated terrains. Based upon aerial photography from 1998, 1999 and 2000, the map identifies the major landforms that are regarded as diagnostic of glacier surging when viewed in a land…

Surficial geology and geomorphology of the þórisjökull plateau icefield, west-central Iceland
Please click here to download the map associated with this article. A surficial geology and geomorphology map of þórisjökull, west-central Iceland, serves the dual purpose of providing an historical archive of Little Ice Age glacier recession in a warming global climate and monitoring tool for geomorphologists studying the temporal evolution of glacial landform-sediment assemblages or landsystems. The map is based on 1999 colour aerial photograph…
