| 7 | Dry Rifting in the Albertine Rhino (DRIAR) Project | Makerere University is collaborating with the US universities including Virginia Tech and University of Kansas to conduct research in the Albertine Graben under the Dry Rifting in the Albertine Rhino (DRIAR) Project. The DRIAR Project involves a geophysical, geochemical, geological, and geodynamic investigation of the Albertine-Rhino Graben in western and northwestern Uganda to improve understanding of continenta rifting in areas where volcanic activity is minimal. Several field activities are being carried out. These activities include collecting water samples, collecting rock samples, temporary deployment of seismic, magnetotellunc, and gravity instruments, permanent installations or Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) instruments, | 2021-2025 | Dr. J.M. Kiberu, Department of Geology and Petroleum Studies |
