Although modern climate conditions in the 26 June 2009 Central Kenya Rift are very similar for these basins, hydrology and hydrochemistry of present-day lakes Accepted 9 July 2009 Nakuru, Elmenteita and Naivasha contrast dramatically due to tectonically controlled differences in basin geometries, catchment size, and fluvial processes. In this study, we use eighteen 14Cand40Ar/39Ar dated fluvio-lacustrine sedimentary sections to unravel the spatiotemporal evolution of the lake basins in response to tectonic and climatic influences. We reconstruct paleoclimatic and ecological trends recor- ded in these basins based on fossil diatom assemblages and geologic field mapping.

  • Lake Turkana Archaeology: the Holocene
    Lake Turkana Archaeology: The Holocene Lawrence H. Robbins, Michigan State University Abstract. Pioneering research in the Holocene archaeology of Lake Turkana con- tributed significantly to the development of broader issues in the prehistory of Africa, including the aquatic civilization model and the initial spread of domes- ticated livestock in East Africa. These topics are reviewed following retrospective discussion of the nature of pioneering fieldwork carried out in the area in the1960s. The early research at Lake Turkana uncovered the oldest pottery in East Africa as well as large numbers of bone harpoons similar to those found along the Nile Valley and elsewhere in Africa. The Lake Turkana area remains one of the major building blocks in the interpretation of the later prehistory of Africa as a whole, just as it is a key area for understanding the early phases of human evolution. Our way had at first led us up hills of volcanic origin. I can’t imagine landscape more barren, dried out and grim. At 1.22 pm the Bassonarok appeared, an enormous lake of blue water dotted with some islands. The northern shores cannot be seen. At its southern end it must be about 20 kilometers wide. As far as the eye can see are barren and volcanic shores. I give it the name of Lake Rudolf. (Teleki 1965 [1886–95]: 5 March 1888) From yesterday’s campsite we could overlook nearly the whole western and north- ern shores of the lake. The soil here is different again. I observed a lot of conglom- erates and fossils (petrification).

  • Reducing Flood Impacts Through Forecast-Based Action
    Working paper 553 Reducing flood impacts through forecast-based action Entry points for social protection systems in Kenya Lena Weingärtner, Catalina Jaime, Martin Todd, Simon Levine, Stephen McDowell and Dave MacLeod April 2019 • Interest in forecast-based early action for floods in Kenya is growing as a result of the detrimental floods in 2018. • There are promising entry points for linking flood forecasts with social protection systems to Key messages reduce impacts. • Anticipatory cash transfers channelled through national social protection systems could have a specific role in helping reduce the impact of longer-term displacement as a result of flooding, supporting timely evacuations and helping protect livestock or other movable assets. • Social protection systems more generally could be used to enhance flood risk management. As beneficiary registers improve, these can be used for targeting activities and communicating early warnings. • Further development of a forecast-based early action system for floods in Kenya will require improvements in flood risk data and validation of forecasts, greater coordination between government agencies (at county and national level), and clarity on institutional responsibilities for early action and financing.
