    Extractions: ESTIMATED 2000 POPULATION Gabon is located on the west coast of Africa. It is bound by Congo to the northeast, east and south, Cameroon to the north, Equatorial Guinea to the northwest and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Most of the country is covered in dense equatorial rain forests while its coastal plains are narrow and typified by lagoons and estuaries, such as the N'Dogo, N'Goze and N'Komi lagoons. The interior rises in a series of steps to the Central African Plateau. In the north the Crystal Mountains enclose the valleys of the Woleu and N'Tem Rivers as well as the Ivindo River Basin. In southern Gabon the coastal plain is dominated by granite hills and almost the entire country is situated on the Ogooue River with its two major tributaries, the N'Gounie and Ivindo Rivers. Major Cities (pop. est.); Libreville 419,600, Port Gentil 78,200, Franceville 83,000 (1993). Land Use; forested 77%, pastures 18%, agricultural-cultivated 2%, other 3% (1993). CLIMATE: Gabon has an equatorial climate that is characterized by hot, wet and humid conditions. During the wet season abundant rainfall occurs with the average annual precipitation in Libreville, 2,500 mm (98 inches) while between June to September there is virtually no rain. Temperatures are fairly constant with little variation all year round.

    Extractions: See also Eastern Africa Guinea Coast Southern Africa , and Western and Central Sudan The British ban on the international slave trade and the development of Arab-Swahili caravan routes from eastern Africa shifts the trade in slaves to the east. In western Central Africa, heightened demand for local African products such as ivory, wax, and rubber allows previously subjugated or isolated peoples such as the Chokwe to rise to economic prominence and displace traditional powers such as the far-flung Lunda and Luba states . Further east, the Arab-Swahili trade also deprives these polities of the trade on which they are dependent. The emergence of numerous small-scale chiefdoms results in the production of new forms of ornate and luxurious courtly arts across Central Africa. Elsewhere, extended periods of migration in present-day Gabon and political consolidation in modern Cameroon lead to the development of new forms of funerary and courtly art. The European partition of Africa in 1884 provides state support for German, Belgian, English, and Portuguese expeditions into Central Africa that supply newly created ethnographic museums and geographic societies with specimens of material culture from the region.

    Extractions: Gabon History - overview of historic events the travel guide you write Recent Changes Map View Enlargement [edit this] [Upload image] During the last seven centuries Bantu ethnic groups arrived in the area from several directions to escape enemies or to find new land. Little is known of tribal life before European contact but tribal art suggests a rich cultural heritage. Gabon's first European visitors were Portuguese traders who arrived in the 15th century and named the country after the Portuguese word gabao- -a coat with sleeve and hood resembling the shape of the Como River estuary. The coast became a center of the slave trade. Dutch British and French traders came in the 16th century. France assumed the status of protector by signing treaties with Gabonese coastal chiefs in 1839 and 1841. American missionaries from New England established a mission at Baraka (Libreville) in 1842. In 1849 the French captured a slave ship and released the passengers at the mouth of the Como River. The slaves named their settlement Libreville meaning "free town." French explorers had penetrated Gabon's dense jungles by 1887. The most famous explorerSavorgnan de Brazzaused Gabonese bearers and guides in his searches for the headwaters of the Congo River. France occupied Gabon in 1885 but did not administer it until 1903. In 1910 Gabon became one of the four territories of French Equatorial Africa a federation that survived until 1959. The territories became independent in 1960 as the Central African Republic Chad Congo (Brazzaville) and Gabon. GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL CONDITIONS

    Extractions: HISTORY At the time of Gabon's independence in 1960, two principal political parties existed: the Bloc Democratique Gabonais (BDG), led by Leon M'Ba, and the Union Democratique et Sociale Gabonaise (UDSG), led by J.H. Aubame. In the first post-independence election, held under a parliamentary system, neither party was able to win a majority. The BDG obtained support from three of the four independent legislative deputies, and M'Ba was named Prime Minister. Soon after concluding that Gabon had an insufficient number of people for a two-party system, the two party leaders agreed on a single list of candidates. In the February 1961 election, held under the new presidential system, M'Ba became President and Aubame became Foreign Minister. In March 1968, Bongo declared Gabon a one-party state by dissolving the BDG and establishing a new partythe Parti Democratique Gabonais (PDG). He invited all Gabonese, regardless of previous political affiliation, to participate. Bongo was elected President in February 1975; in April 1975, the office of vice president was abolished and replaced by the office of prime minister, who had no right to automatic succession. Bongo was re-elected President in December 1979 and November 1986 to 7-year terms. Using the PDG as a tool to submerge the regional and tribal rivalries that divided Gabonese politics in the past, Bongo sought to forge a single national movement in support of the government's development policies.

    Extractions: Northwest Territories Alaska North Slope West African Margin Despite significant exploration success in the last five years along the West African margin, the margin remains under-explored and basic questions about the petroleum systems remain unanswered. Key questions relate to the unroofing (or uplift) history and the corresponding thermal history of the margin, in relation to its effect on hydrocarbon maturation history, and sources and distribution of reservoirs. This study is designed to answer those key questions on a broad regional basis by providing a comprehensive thermal history framework and exhumation history for the margin from Gabon to Namibia. Samples from wells in the offshore region, and from both wells and outcrops onshore will be included in this vast regional study
