Potential of gdgts as temperature proxies along altitudinal transects in East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2014-05)Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are lipids of high molecular weight and include the isoprenoid GDGTs (iGDGTs) produced by Archaea and the branched GDGTs (brGDGTs) produced by unknown bacteria. Several indices ... -

(University of Nairobi, 2014)The Magadi (Kenya) and Natron (Tanzania) basins of the East African Rift are in an early stage (< 7 Ma) of continental rifting. The many normal faults observed in these areas create sediment-filled basins and a large number ... -
Gas geochemistry of volcanic and geothermal areas in the Kenya Rift: implications for the role of fluids in continental Rifting
(University of Nairobi, 2013-12-26)The East African Rift (EAR) is an active continental rift and ideal to investigate the processes of rift initiation and the breaking apart of continental lithosphere. Mantle and crust-derived fluids may play a pivotal role ... -
