Intellectual Merit:This project is to analyze earthquake data collected after a large earthquake sequence occurred in the Malawi section of the East African Rift zone. InSAR data from the area will also be analyzed to determine how the region was affected by the earthquakes. The goal of the proposed work is to obtain a better understanding of the deformation associated with the inception and early stages of rifting of a continent.Broader ImpactsThis project has a large component of international collaboration. The PIs have a strong relationship with the Malawi Geological Survey department and will host Malawi colleagues in the U.S. so they can learn earthquake relocation techniques. The PIs will also travel to Malawi to speak with various groups, and help to install the software needed for seismic analysis.

智力优点：该项目是在东非裂谷区的马拉维区发生了大地震序列后分析地震数据。 还将分析来自该地区的INS数据，以确定该地区如何受地震的影响。 拟议工作的目的是更好地了解与大陆裂谷的成立和早期阶段相关的变形。BRODERIMPACTSSUSPONTS这个项目具有很大的国际合作组成部分。 PI与马拉维地质调查局有着牢固的关系，将在美国接待马拉维同事，以便他们学习地震搬迁技术。 PI还将前往马拉维与各个小组交谈，并帮助安装地震分析所需的软件。
