EAGLE - Ethiopia-Afar Geoscientific Lithospheric Experiment

EAGLE (Ethiopia Afar Geoscientific Lithospheric Experiment) is a three-part project designed to probe lithospheric structure beneath an active rift zone. The Main Ethiopian Rift displays transition from continental to oceanic style rifting, a characteristic that makes the region a perfect laboratory for the study of continental break-up and ocean formation. British participation within EAGLE includes the Universities of Leeds, Leicester and Royal Holloway. Stanford University and University of Texas – El Paso are the American participants. The University of Addis Ababa and Geological Survey of Ethiopia are the local institutions also involved in the project. The experiment is permissioned by the Ethiopian Science and Technology Commission.
