SAGA 2026

The new SAGA brand reflects our evolution from the South African Geophysical Association, founded in the 1970s, to one that embraces a broader geographical footprint and community. The new brand elements encapsulate our core values of collaboration, growth, innovation, and community. It is important for us to maintain a connection with our heritage, which is why the new brand incorporates elements from our origins, with a significant new addition: the acacia tree.

This emblematic feature, an inseparable part of the Southern African landscape, symbolizes growth and connectedness spreading across the region whilst depicting our foundational roots in South Africa

The countdown to the Southern African Geophysical Association’s 19th Biennial Conference & Exhibition has begun, with vibrant Cape Town gearing up to host of this prestigious event. As the world faces urgent questions about sustainable mining practices and the future of geosciences education, this gathering of geoscientists, researchers, and industry professionals will be a critical platform for collaboration and solutions.

Join us in shaping a sustainable future—where knowledge, innovation, and practical experience come together to tackle the pressing challenges of our time.
