The University of Glasgow Tanzania Expedition will take place in June 2015 and will consist of a team of 13 Glasgow students and 2 academics who will be working alongside staff and students from the University of Dodoma and the University of Dar es Salaam. This collaboration will provide a rare opportunity to study the unique eruptions of the volcano, and for the two universities to exchange knowledge and establish good relations for future co-operation. The data we collect will be used to better understand the volcano's history and inform hazard strategies in the region.  We will be working closely with local geologists and the local community to achieve this.  We will be teaching the local students about the geology and funding a learning experience they wouldn't normally have access to.  We strongly believe that a little education in the right place can achieve just as much as a "big charity", where funds don't neccessarily go where needed.

 

For this expedition to go ahead and to see its benefits, we need to raise around £25,000. We have been working our socks off fundraising for this expedition and we are now in the home straight. This page has been set up to raise the final few thousand pounds we need!
