The Turkana Rift Zone is undergoing “necking,” a critical transition toward continental breakup that has never been observed before, researchers reported.

New research reveals that a rift in Earth’s crust is just a few million years away from splitting the continent of Africa into two—and creating a new ocean

New study finds that Earth’s underlying crust in the Turkana Rift region has been significantly thinned, presaging Africa’s eventual breakup—and with that finding, new perspective on how Turkana’s world-famous fossil record of human evolution came to be: https://t.co/ZL1k5yqYPu

Great @icdpDrilling workshop participation at the Deep Drilling Turkana Basin (DDTP) in Nairobi this week! Scientists busy discussing drilling Plio-Pleistocene units of the Turkana Basin in N.Kenya and S.Ethiopia https://t.co/fvbkgx3DCC👍 #paleoclimate #scientificdrilling

We are devastated by the loss of our dear colleague, friend, and director of the Turkana Miocene Project, Dr. @NengoIsaiah. Isaiah inspired so many of us and championed young scientists from eastern Africa. Our hearts go out to your family, Isaiah. Rest in power, dear friend.

[Turkana Miocene @TurkanaMiocene]

We are officially launching the Turkana Miocene Project with this intro from project director Dr. Isaiah Nengo. Follow our project here, Insta @TurkanaMiocene, and Facebook. Website coming soon! We have peeps doing science in the field and lab already!

"Marie Tharp Lane" is the new name of a street that winds thru @whoi village campus, past my house, honoring this exceptional @LamontEarth geologist who gave us the first 3D view of ocean basins and inspired future generations #WomensHistoryMonth

Yesterday in New Jersey, protestors marched side by side with law enforcement, in peaceful demonstration against systemic racism and police violence.

We can – we MUST – march toward justice together.
