"Soil Survey - the recognition of different soils and the detennination of their important characteristics, the classification of defined soil units, the plotting of their boundaries on soil maps and, in co-operation with other specialists, the fonmilation of growth predictions - is purposeful research and its effects are far reaching.

D.B, CLArrON FOREWORD Zambia's national development policy is now centred on the development of agriculture and the proper utilization of renewable resources as it is now realised that the national economy cannot be sustained for ever by exploitation of non-renewable resources such as minerals. The success of our development strategy based on agricultoire and the exploitation of renewable resources such as forests and grasslands depends, among other factors, upon the availability of data concerning the quality, quantity and distribution of soil types to provide a basis for land-use and resource planning. That the Government of the Republic of Zambia had initiated and supported a soil survey programme, of which the subject of this thesis is a part, provides positive evidence of Zambia's determination to bring the rural community to play a major role in the development of the country's economy. The Central Province, the subject area of the survey, is one of the two agriculturally advanced Provinces, Southern Province being the other, in Zambia, not only in terms of production at commercial farming level but also in terms of the number of farmers emerging from traditional and subsistence agriculture to middle level ccamnercial production. VIII Soil survey in this area is, in my opinion, of high priority in order to ensure that land-Hxse and resource planning maximises the use of the various soil types and avoids their wastage in the wake of rapid agricultural expansion. The present work defines in detail the soil types found in the Central Province and indicates their land use potential. The academic value of the thesis cannot be doubted, but of great significance is its relevance to land-use and resources planning for the development of the rural sector of Central Province. The thesis will be of great value to planners, agricultural research and extension workers in the Ministry of Rural Development and other institutions in Zambia, S.M. SILANGWA SECRETARY GENERAL NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ZAMBIA IX INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE NATURE AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE SANDVELDT SOILS OF THE CENTRAL PROVINCE OF ZAMBIA WITH OBSERVATIONS ON THEER LAND USE POTENTIAL ABSTRACT This thesis describes the nature and distribution of the sandveldt soils of the Central Province of Zambia, It is based on the results of detailed, semi-detailed and reconnaissance soil surveys carried out in the Province between 1972 and 1974. Sandveldt soils are light textured, developed over felsic and intemediate rocks and support Brachvstegia - Julbernardia - Isoberlinia (Miombo) woodland. They are characteristically yellowish brown where well drained, structure• less, and have low C,E,C, Base saturation is very variable and soil reaction is in the range strong to slightly acid. Regoliths are deeply weathered and relatively few weather- able minerals remain in most profiles, Sandveldt soils are Weathered Ferrallitic Soils of generally low agricultural potential. They are estimated to cover 505*000 ha, 4ljg of Central Province, The thesis is divided into five parts :- Part One explains the background leading to the requirement for soil survey work, describes the survey programme vuider- taken and methods employed, and reviews the previous work done in the area. Part Two describes in detail the climate, geology, geomorphology and vegetation of the area and explains their pedological significance. Part Three gives an account of the general features of sandveldt soils and their pattern of distribution. Six soil series comprised in a widespread catena are described in detail, A number of associated soils and landtypes are also described. The modal characteristics, genesis and classification

    Mortimer Hays-Brandeis Traveling Fellowship Final Report, Hrvoje Slovene House Secrets: Industrial Tales in one of the World's Most Contaminated Cities: Kabwe, Zambia For the past five years, my primary focus in photography has been to document abandoned, nineteenth-century factories and industrial spaces, as well as to show the irreparable damage modem industrialism has had on the global environment and its population. By photographing the devastating effects on local neighborhoods wrought by factories and industry, my intention has been to show how seemingly isolated problems have contributed to the global environmental crisis we are witnessing today. To date this project has taken me to Manchester, England-the birthplace of the industrial revolution; to Cleveland, Ohio; and Zagreb, Croatia. With the generous help of the Mortimer Hays- Brandeis Traveling Fellowship, I expanded this project to include Kabwe, Zambia. The mining of lead there by a Chinese-based company continues to put the population of hundreds of thousands at serious risk. Through my photographs, I showed the impact of modem industrialism on the real, day-to-day experiences of people and their industrialized habitats. Although my original intention was to visit and document the effects oflead pollution in Kabwe, Zambia; Linfen, China; and Dzerzhinsk, Russia, I found a plethora of material in Zambia, and spent the majority of my time there. I first visited Kabwe in June 2007 and stayed there for three months. During that time I got in touch with local NGOs and familiarized myself with their work on the field. During that time I also became aware of the scale of the lead pollution problem on the location.

Evans* Department of Geology and Geophysics, Yale University, P.O. Box 208109, 210 Whitney Avenue, New Haven, CT 06520-8109, USA Received 24 May 2002; received in revised form 25 March 2003; accepted 5 June 2003 Abstract It has recently been found that Neoproterozoic glaciogenic sediments were deposited mainly at low paleolatitudes, in marked qualitative contrast to their Pleistocene counterparts. Several competing models vie for explanation of this unusual paleoclimatic record, most notably the high-obliquity hypothesis and varying degrees of the snowball Earth scenario. The present study quantitatively compiles the global distributions of Miocene–Pleistocene glaciogenic deposits and paleomagnetically derived paleolatitudes for Late Devonian–Permian, Ordovician–Silurian, Neoproterozoic, and Paleoproterozoic glaciogenic rocks. Whereas high depositional latitudes dominate all Phanerozoic ice ages, exclusively low paleolatitudes characterize both of the major Precambrian glacial epochs. Transition between these modes occurred within a 100-My interval, precisely coeval with the Neoproterozoic–Cambrian ‘‘explosion’’ of metazoan diversity. Glaciation is much more common since 750 Ma than in the preceding sedimentary record, an observation that cannot be ascribed merely to preservation. These patterns suggest an overall cooling of Earth’s longterm climate, superimposed by developing regulatory feedbacks
