Any geological exploration of the Earth ultimately requires understanding its structure and crustal geometry and composition - its architecture - whether we are searching for battery minerals, metals, water, hydrocarbons, carbon storage reservoirs, or geothermal. Although regional and local databases are available, especially in the commercial world, there is no systematic, global suite of databases for crustal architecture and structure accessible by the entire scientific community. This is why we have built Reclus. The Reclus suite includes databases of the following: (1) structural elements, which define the three-dimensional geometry of the rock volume, including folds and faults; (2) 'crustal' facies describing the geometry and composition/rheology of the lithosphere; (3) igneous features; and (4) geodynamics, representing the dominant thermo-mechanical processes acting on the lithosphere. The datasets provided here are for East Africa and are described in detail in Markwick et al., (Accepted for publication). Interpretations were made between 2017-2021 using a range of primary and secondary sources. These input datasets include gravity and magnetic data, Landsat imagery, radar data, published well and seismic information, geological maps and published papers, MSc and Ph.d. theses, and reports. The databases are compiled and managed using ESRI's ArcGIS software and are underpinned by a comprehensive data management system and systematic attribution. In this resource, the databases are provided as ESRI shapefiles. Shapefiles are the ESRI data format that can be used most widely, including the following: different versions of ArcGIS; QGIS, Schlumberger's Petrel; and Google Earth. Reclus enables commercial explorationists to place their internal data and expertise within a systematically built, regional context. For students and academics, Reclus is designed to provide a starting point for further research - it is so much easier to take an existing resource, question it, disagree with it, change it, and improve it. Reclus is named after the French geographer Jacques Élisée Reclus”, who in the late 19th century compiled and analyzed physical and human geographic data for every continent. This was published in his 19 volume work, La Nouvelle Géographie Universelle, la Terre et Les Hommes, which included some of the first maps illustrating the global distribution of volcanoes and mountains.

Mineral resource occurrence data covering the world, most thoroughly within the U.S. This database contains the records previously provided in the Mineral Resource Data System (MRDS) of USGS and the Mineral Availability System/Mineral Industry Locator System (MAS/MILS) originated in the U.S. Bureau of Mines, which is now part of USGS. The MRDS is a large and complex relational database developed over several decades by hundreds of researchers and reporters. While database records describe mineral resources worldwide, the compilation of information was intended to cover the United States completely, and its coverage of resources in other countries is incomplete. The content of MRDS records was drawn from reports previously published or made available to USGS researchers. Some of those original source materials are no longer available. The information contained in MRDS was intended to reflect the reports used as sources and is current only as of the date of those source reports. Consequently MRDS does not reflect up-to-date changes to the operating status of mines, ownership, land status, production figures and estimates of reserves and resources, or the nature, size, and extent of workings. Information on the geological characteristics of the mineral resource are likely to remain correct, but aspects involving human activity are likely to be out of date.

Kenya's health care system is structured in a step-wise manner so that complicated cases are referred to a higher level. Gaps in the system are filled by private and church run unitsBasic primary care is provided at primary healthcare centres and dispensaries. Dispensaries are run and managed by enrolled and registered nurses who are supervised by the nursing officer at the respective health centre. They provide outpatient services for simple ailments such as the common cold and flu, uncomplicated malaria and skin conditions. Those patients who cannot be managed by the nurse are referred to the health centres.Sub-district, district and provincial hospitals provide secondary care, i.e. integrated curative and rehabilitative care. Sub-district hospitals are similar to health centres with the addition of a surgery unit for Caesarean sections and other procedures. District hospitals usually have the resources to provide comprehensive medical and surgical services. Provincial hospitals are regional centres which provide specialised care including intensive care, life support and specialist consultations.Third level care is provided at the general hospitals Moi and Kenyatta, both located in Nairobi. Gaps, which regularly appear in the system, are filled by private and church run facilities.Dispensaries and private clinicsHealth CentersSub-district hospitals District hospital and private hospitalsProvincial hospitalNational hospital
