| Zusammenfassung |
| The contribution of the "Institut Scientifique Chérifien", the oldest
scientific research centre in Morocco, is reviewed since its creation
almost a century ago. Planned in 1914 by the French protectorate of Morocco,
this institute has played, since its effective creation in 1920, an important
role in the development of several geosciences in North Africa, such as
meteorology and climatology, geophysics (gravimetry, magnetism and
especially seismology), geomorphology, geology and oceanography. After the
independence of Morocco in 1955, several activities, such as meteorology, were
transferred elsewhere, but others, such as seismology and magnetism,
remained important elements of the centre until recent years. In addition to the research
activities, its observatories and libraries that were built during the early
years are unique in Northwest Africa. |
