Geological, diatom, pollen and archaeological studies, supported by 24 original radiocarbon
dates, provide new evidence to illustrate the Holocene history of Lake Turkana, Kenya. High …

We established sediment geochronologies for cores from eight deltaic areas in Lake
Tanganyika (the Lubulungu, Kabesi, Halembe, Malagarasi, Nyasanga/Kahama …

A suite of piston cores recovered from Lake Malawi (9–14° S, 34–35° E), east Africa in 1986
has been analyzed for major and minor elements, organic C and N, calcium carbonate and …

Assemblages of ostracodes from sediment cores illuminate lake-level history at decadal to
centennial timescales during the late Holocene at Lake Tanganyika, East Africa. The …

Field data, supported by 28 14 C dates, show that during the late Pleistocene Lake
Bosumtwi suffered a major regression and probably remained low for some time, the …

Sediment samples from a continuous 4.6 m profile in the dry bed of Lake Ngami in NW
Botswana were analysed for geochemistry and dated using both 14C and TL methods …

The Holocene was time of dramatic climate change in East Africa, shifting from wetter
climate in the Early–Mid Holocene (∼ 10–5ka) to drier climates in the Late Holocene …

Modeling the bulk sediment XRD patterns allows insight into the environmental and
depositional histories of two neighboring rift lake basins within the Baikal watershed …

Pollen, spores, and microscopic charcoal from a sediment core from Lake Ngami, in the
Middle Kalahari, reflect paleovegetation and paleoclimatic conditions over the last 16,600 …

Sediments accumulating in offshore areas of northern Lake Malawi typically contain 1–4%
organic carbon. This organic matter (OM) is of mainly phytoplankton origin with varying …
