Project overview
RiftVolc is built around a NERC funded large grant which aims to research past, present and future volcanic and seismic activity in different sectors of the East African rift system. The project also draws on several NERC funded PhD studentships (SPITFIRE and INSPIRE). Project partners include the BGS, the Universities of Edinburgh, Bristol, Oxford, Cambridge, Leeds, Imperial, Florence, Pisa, Strasbourg, Sorbonne, Addis Ababa, the Geological Survey of Ethiopia, and Reykjavik Geothermal.
The team at the University of Southampton primarily focus on using passive seismology, structural geology, volcanology, and geochemistry to understand tectonics, magmatic, and hydrothermal processes during extension.
