Linking source and sink in the Rwenzori Mountains and adjacent rift basins, Uganda: landscape evolution and the sedimentary record of extreme uplift

这项提案旨在完成Riftlink研究股B3分项目正在进行的工作，并为自2011年11月以来负责该项目的两名博士生提供第三年的资金。该项目始于2006年，自那时以来，总共在乌干达西部开展了8次实地活动。首先，该项目是由2010年退出该项目的博士后管理的。这导致活动中断，然后两名博士生可以接替博士后，继续研究该项目尚未完成的具体方面。由于这种特殊情况，对博士生的资助只剩下两年。2012年，他们花了两次漫长的实地考察活动，两人都已经准备了现场和实验室结果的初稿，证明了他们在进入该项目时只用了1.5年就取得了出色的工作进展。以下对该提案的描述仅限于补充两篇博士论文的具体方面。可以从以前的提案、工作报告和提交的手稿中检索到更多的一般性信息和补充文献。

This proposal aims at completing ongoing work in subproject B3 of the Research Unit Riftlink and to finance a third year for two PhD students already in charge of the project since 11/2011. This project started in 2006 and since then, in total 8 field campaigns took place in western Uganda. First, the project was run by the Postdoc student who quitted the project in 2010. This lead to a break of activities before two PhD students could be engaged to replace the Postdoc and continue with specific aspects of the project which have not been completed by the Postdoc. Because of this special situation, only 2 years funding remained for the PhD students. They spent two long field campaigns in 2012 and both already prepared a first draft of their field and laboratory results, proofing their excellent work progress within only 1.5 years, when they stepped into the project. The following description of the proposal is restricted to the specific aspects to complement the two PhD theses. More general information together with additional literature can be retrieved from the former proposal, the working report and the submitted manuscripts.
