Abstract : This study analyzes geomagnetic anomalies in the Kinshasa region using satellite data from the Swarm mission. The objective is to identify spatial variations in the Earth magnetic field and interpret the anomalies associated with regional geological structures. Geomagnetic data were extracted for a geographic window covering the Kinshasa region and processed to calculate magnetic anomalies. The results highlight variations in the magnetic field that may be linked to lithological contrasts and deep structures in the Congo Basin. This study demonstrates the value of satellite data in regional geophysical investigations in Central Africa.

Keywords : Geomagnetism, Magnetic Anomalies, Swarm, Geophysics, Congo Basin.
