Dr. Mickus joined colleagues Dr. Mohamed Abdelsalam and Dr. Steve Gao from
Missouri University of Science and Technology on a funded grant from
StatoilHydro to study the lithospheric structure of the Afar region in Ethiopia.
Assisting us were students from Missouri State University (Matt Cosatt) and MST
(Dave Bridges, Carrie Bender and Devon Rumbaugh) and scientists from the
Ethiopian Geological Survey (Lulu Tsige, Wondossen Bekele and Workineh Haro ).
For 3 weeks we collected gravity, magnetics and structural/petrological data.
Additionally sites were scouted for a broadband seismic survey that will
commence later in 2009.
Check back for updates including abstracts and papers that will be published
from our research.
