The palaeo-lake Suguta and its importance for understanding lake level fluctuations in the East African Rift System

Junginger, A; Olago, DO; Trauth, MH (University of NairobiDepartment of Geology, 2010)

We studied the most recent dry-wet-dry cycle in the presently arid Suguta Valley in the Northern Kenya Rift where a 300-m-deep lake has formed during the so-called African Humid Period (AHP, 14.8-5.5 ka BP). Hydromodeling ...

Palaeo-research in Africa: relevance to sustainable environmental management and significance for the future

Olago, Daniel O.; Odada, Erico O (2004)

Africa’s environment is closely linked with its climate, so that climatic constraints have been a major force in the development of vegetation, soils, agriculture and general livelihood (Nicholson 2001). The African ...

Palaeoecology Of Eastern Africa Mountains

Palaeomagnetic results from late Archaean and early proterozoic granites from South Western Kenya

Patel, J.P (Department of Physics, University of Nairobi, 1989)

Results of a palaeomagnetic study carried out on the Migori granites exposed in the South Western part of Kenya are presented. The granites of Post-Nyanzian and Post-Kavirondian ages are dated at View the MathML source, ...

Palaeomagnetic Studies Of The Kapiti Phonolite Of Kenya

Patel, J.P.; Gacii, P. (University of NairobiDepartment of Physics, 1972)

Specimens of Kapiti phonolite from sixteen sites were treated in an alternating field up to 900 Oe peak. Four sites were discarded on the basis of Watson's Criterion for randomness. Variations in various magnetic parameters ...

A palaeomagnetic study of lower Proterozoic granites from Western Kenya

Patel, J. P; Raja, P. K. S (Department of Physics, University of Nairobi, 1979)

This paper reports a palaeomagnetic study of the lower Proterozoic granites, exposed in the western part of Kenya and dated at 2530 ± 50 Ma (λRb= 1.39 × 10−11 yr−1). Ten sites out of 13 have yielded stable palaeomagnetic ...

The Palaeomagnetism of Late Cenozoic Volcanic Rocks from Kenya and Tanzania

Reilly, TA; Raja, PKS; Mussett, AE; Brock, A (University of Nairobi, 1976-06)

Palaeomagnetic results from 246 sites in the East African Cenozoic volcanics are reported. Palaeomagnetic pole positions are obtained for different age ranges as follows: 0–1.8 My, 104° E, 89° N, A95= 3° (54 sites); 1.8–7.0 ...

The Palaeomagnetism of some Scottish Tertiary Dykes and their Baked Contacts

Raja, P K S. (University of Nairobi, 1964)

This paper presents results of measurements of the directions of magnetization of dyke samples and the associated baked sediments collected from Ayrshire in Scotland. The results suggest that these reversely and normally ...

Palaeomagnetism of the Cenozoic Volcanic Rocks from East Africa

Raja, PKS (University of Nairobi, 1976-01-20)

The palaeomagnetism of the Ethiopian flood basalt succession near Addis Ababa

Brock, A.; Gibson, I L; Gacii, P (University of Nairobi, 1970-01-22)

Measurements on samples from 20 sites in the Ethiopian flood basalt succession yield a palaeomagnetic pole at 80.8° N, 167.7° E with a circle of confidence of 4.3°. The pole for these rocks is significantly different from ...

The Palaeomagnetism of the Kisii Series, Western Kenya

Brock, A; Raja, PKS; Vise, JB (University of Nairobi, 1971-12-17)

The Precambrian Kisii Series in Western Kenya is unmetamorphosed and contains andesites, rhyolites, quartzites and basalts. The basalts, for which a minimum K-Ar age of 930 My is cited, were sampled at 15 sites, and after ...

Palaeomagnetism of the tororo ring complex, S.E. Uganda

Raja, P K S.; Vise, J.B. (University of Nairobi, 1973)

Palaeomagnetic measurements on the pre-Miocene carbonatite volcanics of Tororo, S.E. Uganda, have yielded a pole at 75.8°N, 195.5°E with A95 = 9.4°. Along with the Tertiary poles from East African rift systems, the ...

The Paleoecology and Paleogeographic context of Lemudongo locality 1, a late Miocene terrestrial fossil site in southern Kenya

Nyamai, C.M. (Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 2007)

The Lemudongo Formation in the Narok District of Kenya comprises a 135-mthick series of predominantly lacustrine and lake basin margin sedimentary rocks with interstratified primary and reworked tuffs. The formation, ...
