  • The Geomorphology of Southeast Kenya
    THE GEOMORPHOLOGY OF SOUTHEAST KENYA A. P. Oosterom STELLINGEN 1. Bij de vorming van de uitgestrekte planatievlakken in Oost-Kenia heeft marine en lacustrine abrasie een belangrijke rol gespeeld. Dit proefschrift. 2. De schaarste aan fossielen van hominiden in Oost-Afrika over de periode van ongeveer 500 000 tot 50 000 jaar BP is schijnbaar. 3. Voor de toepassing van geografische informatiesystemen op bedrijfsniveau in reliefrijke gebieden is het essentieel om programmatuur te ontwikkelen die identificatie van de geologische en geomorfologische positie van een gekozen punt mogelijk maakt. 4. De klink van het Basis- en het Hollandveen is er medeverantwoordelijk voor dat er in Nederland geen aanwijzingen worden gevonden voor hoge holocene zeestanden. 5. De geringschatting van het belang van onderwijs en onderzoek in de geologie en geomorfologie aan de Landbouwuniversiteit te Wageningen is een uiting van onwetenschappelijk doe-het-zelf-denken. 6. Zolang de programmatuur voor het opnemen, opslaan en opvragen van kaarteringsgegevens minder flexibel is dan een veldboekje staat het gebruik van handterminals en veldcomputers vernieuwing in de weg. 7. De betrouwbaarheidsgrens van 25 000 jaar voor de datering van organische carbqnaten met behulp van de 14C-methode is te hoog.. Dit proefschrift. 8. Het woord automatisering wekt onjuiste verwachtingen als het gaat om de invoering en het gebruik van computers. 9. Kerkelijke liedboeken behoren losbladig te zijn. 10. De stelligheid waarmee waarheden worden verdedigd is eerder een maat voor onkunde dan voor inzicht. Stellingen behorende bij het proefschrift: The Geomorphology of Southeast Kenya. A.P.

    Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Philosophie (Dr. phil.) Angenommen vom Senat der Universität Vechta Vulnerability and Resilience of Dry Land Irrigation Farming Schemes Against Climate Change: A Case of Ruvuma Basin, South Eastern Tanzania Vorgelegt von Musa Leonard Mhagama, 2019. Name des Erstgutachters: apl. Prof. Dr. Kim Philip Schumacher Name des Zweitgutachters: Prof. Dr. Peter Dannenberg, Vechta, November, 2019 Abstract Dry land irrigation farming practises has remained critically important in supplementing nation’s food security during dry season and household income for many rural farmers as well as poverty reduction and other various indirect benefits (employment and economic growth). Despite successful stories in the dry land irrigation farming schemes in South Eastern, Tanzania; the sector has been facing many challenges including the effects of climate variability. Therefore, understanding how the vulnerable and resilience dry land irrigation farming is to the adverse effects of climate change impacts, is critical for reducing vulnerability and enhance adaptive capacity of irrigation farmers. In particular, this thesis examine how irrigation farming schemes are exposed to the adverse effects of climate change variability and how irrigation farmers are responding, adapting and coping with the ongoing changes so to enhance food security, socio-economic development and mitigate the adverse effects of climate change impacts. Other factors making irrigation farming sensitive to climate change impacts and different livelihood diversification options used as coping strategies have been addressed as well. A mixed-method approach, involving qualitative and quantitative methodology for data collection, was adopted. In this study, main techniques for primary data collection were questionnaire survey, key informant interviews, focus group discussions and participant observation in the field.

LTD. PATERNOSTER HOUSE, E.C. f I I I I ,.\ I PREFACE N all the German colon.ies,t~ough but a few d~ca~es old, a life I full of promise was discerruble. \Ve were beginning to under• stand the national value of our colonial possessions; settlers and capital were venturing in; industries and factories were beginning to flourish. Compared with that of other nations, the colonizing process of Germany had progressed peacefully and steadily, and the inhabitants had confidence in the justice of German administration. This development had barely commenced when it was destroyed by the world war. In spite of all tangible proofs to the contrary, an unjustifiable campaign of falsehood is being conducted in order to make the world believe that the Germans lacked colonizing talent and were cruel to the natives. A small force, mainly composed of these very natives, opposed this development. Almost without any external means of coercion, even without immediate payment, this force, with its numerous native followers, faithfully followed its German leaders throughout the whole of the prolonged war against a more than hundredfold superiority. When the armistice came it was still fit to fight, and imbued with the best soldierly spirit. That is a fact which cannot be controverted, and is in itself a sufficient answer to the hostile mis-statements.
