Geology, landscapes and ecosystem adaptation
Highland relief, soils, western landscapes and baobab ecology.
Six scientific exploration circuits across Madagascar
Beyond the North, MDCBridge will build on six itineraries presented by SIFAKA Voyages to design geotourism, scientific discovery and field mission programmes. Destinations and durations are kept as is; the scientific themes are design directions to be developed with partners.
Circuit 02 · 12 days · Diego-Suarez – Nosy Be
Northern Madagascar
Geosciences, karst and coastal ecosystems
Northern geological formations, the Ankarana Tsingy, mangroves and marine ecosystems.
Circuit 03 · 11 days
Eastern Madagascar
Biodiversity, rainforests and hydrology
Rainforests, endemic wildlife, watersheds and interactions between people and natural environments.
Circuit 04 · 8 days
Nosy Be getaway
Island volcanism, oceanography and marine biodiversity
Geological origin of the islands, coral reefs and coastal ecosystems.
Circuit 05 · 23 days · Isalo – Toliara
Deep South of Madagascar
Sedimentary geology, palaeontology and arid environments
Isalo’s sandstone landscapes, erosion processes and how biodiversity adapts to dry environments.
Circuit 06 · 14 days
East and South of Madagascar
Comparative ecology, climate and landscape diversity
The transition from rainforest to drylands and coast; links between climate, biodiversity and local societies.
An adaptable scientific method
Each programme can be tailored to a group’s needs: a scientific introduction before departure, landscape reading, guided outings, meetings with local stakeholders, field observations and a debrief of what was learned.
Turning six discovery trips into six gateways to the scientific knowledge of Madagascar.
Circuits and durations from the SIFAKA Voyages visual. The scientific proposals are MDCBridge design directions, not research services already under contract; research activities and sampling remain subject to applicable permits.
