East African mid-Holocene wet-dry transition recorded in palaeo-shorelines of Lake Turkana, northern Kenya Rift.
Garcin, Yannick; Melnick, Daniel; Strecker, Manfred R; Olago, Daniel; Tiercelin, Jean-Jacques (University of NairobiDepartment of Geology, 2012-05-15)The ‘wet’ early to mid-Holocene of tropical Africa, with its enhanced monsoon, ended with an abrupt shift toward drier conditions and was ultimately replaced by a drier climate that has persisted until the present day.

Steady rifting in northern Kenya inferred from deformed Holocene lake shorelines of the Suguta and Turkana basins.
Melnick, Daniel; Garcin, Yannick; Quinteros, Javier; Strecker, Manfred R; Olago, Daniel; Tiercelin, Jean-Jacques (University of NairobiDepartment of Geology, 2012-05-15)A comparison of deformation rates in active rifts over different temporal scales may help to decipher variations in their structural evolution, controlling mechanisms, and evolution of sedimentary environments through time. ...
