East African Rift - KRISP transects, Kenya, Africa
The East African Rift is the largest continental rift system on Earth. A series of abstracts are presented on results from the KRISP85, KRISP90 and KRISP94 wide-angle surveys across Kenya in which the structure of the rift is revealed.

East African Rift - EAGLE transects, Ethiopia, Africa
The East African Rift is the largest continental rift system on Earth. A series of abstracts are presented from the EAGLE (Ethiopia-Afar Geoscientific Lithospheric Experiment) that was focussed structure of the rift in the Ethiopia-Red Sea-Gulf of Aden region.
