The East African region from Sudan as far south as Mozambique encompasses a sedimentary record from the Late Carboniferous to Recent times. The relative distribution and preservation of these sediments were largely controlled by tectonic events as the region evolved from an inter-cratonic basin at the heart of Gondwana in the late Paleozoic through the rift-drift fragmentation of Gondwana during the Jurassic-Cretaceous to its present settings as an onshore continental rift and offshore passive margin. This project constructs a regional framework for the paleogeographic, structural and petroleum-system evolution of East Africa (onshore to deepwater).
