Feedback between tectonic uplift and erosional denudation can have drastic effects on global and regional climate patterns, which in turn have a significant impact on ecosystems and biogeographic zone distributions. The Research Unit RiftLink addresses the causes of rift-flank uplift in the East African Rift since the Late Miocene, its impact on climate changes in Equatorial Africa and the possible consequences for the evolution of hominids.

构造隆升和侵蚀剥蚀之间的反馈作用对全球和区域气候模式产生巨大影响，进而对生态系统和生物地理带分布产生重大影响。裂谷链接研究单元研究了晚中新世以来东非裂谷翼隆升的原因，其对赤道非洲气候变化的影响以及对人类进化的可能后果。
