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

该提案旨在完成Riftlink研究单位子项目B3的正在进行的工作，并为自2011年11月以来已经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，在乌干达西部共开展了8次实地活动。首先，该项目由2010年退出该项目的博士后学生运行。这导致在两名博士生可以取代博士后并继续进行博士后尚未完成的项目的特定方面之前，活动中断。由于这一特殊情况，只有两年的资助留给博士生。他们在2012年进行了两次长时间的实地活动，并且都已经准备好了他们的实地和实验室结果的初稿，证明了他们在进入该项目时仅用了一年半的时间就取得了出色的工作进展。以下对提案的描述仅限于补充两篇博士论文的具体方面。可从以前的提案、工作报告和提交的手稿中检索更一般的信息和其他文献。

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.
