Short summary
Lake Victoria is home to the largest human population surrounding any lake in the world and provides critical resources across eastern Africa. It is vital to understand the connection between the lake and climate and how it has changed through its history, but to do so we need a complete archive of the sedimentary record. To evaluate the Lake Victoria basin as a potential drilling target, ~50 scientists met in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in July 2022 for the Lake Victoria Drilling Project workshop.
