  • Comparative Overview of Gases Discharged from Menengai and Olkaria High Temperature Geothermal Fields, Kenya
    Proceedings 5th African Rift geothermal Conference Arusha, Tanzania, 29-31 October 2014 Comparative Overview of Gases Discharged from Menengai and Olkaria High Temperature Geothermal Fields, Kenya 1Jeremiah K., Ochieng L., Mibei G., Kanda K. and Suwai J. Geothermal Development Company P.O.Box 17700 – 20100, Nakuru Kenya [email protected] Key words: Menengai, reservoir characteristics, Olkaria, discharge vapors, triangular diagrams ABSTRACT An analogy of representative gas compositions from wells drilled into the Menengai and Olkaria volcanic geothermal systems is presented in this paper with a view of drawing parallels as well as identifying variances in the characteristics of the reservoirs tapped by the wells. This contribution seeks to provide an insight into the possible processes that govern the composition of well discharge vapors as well as characterize the Menengai and Olkaria geothermal reservoirs. To achieve this, triangular diagrams comprising two major chemical constituents, H2O and CO2, together with other gas species H2S, H2, CH4 and N2 were employed to compare the chemical characteristics of vapors discharged from these two systems. It is found that the Olkaria reservoir fluids generally exhibit high H2O/CO2 ratios relative to the Menengai fluids. This is attributed to variations in CO2 gas content. High H2S content seems to characterize Menengai wells, particularly those that discharge from the vapor dominated zones. This inference is indicative of either a higher flux of magmatic gas or enhanced boiling in the reservoir as a consequence of a higher heat flux. The latter is found to be common in the wells as this inference is also complemented by the significantly high H2 content reported.

  • 2009 Trip Report KENYA
    KENYA and TANZANIA TRIP REPORT Sept 25-Oct 23, 2009 PART 1 - Classic Kenya text and photos by Adrian Binns Sept 25 / Day 1: Blue Post Thika; Castle Forest We began the morning with an unexpected Little Sparrowhawk followed by a Great Sparrowhawk, both in the skies across the main road from the Blue Post Hotel in Thika. The lush grounds of the Blue Post are bordered by the twin waterfalls of the Chania and Thika, both rivers originating from the nearby Aberdare Mountain Range. It is a good place to get aquatinted with some of the more common birds, especially as most can be seen in close proximity and very well. Eastern Black-headed Oriole, Cinnamon-chested Bee- eater, Little Bee-eater, White-eyed Slaty Flycatcher, Collared Sunbird, Bronzed Mannikin, Speckled Mousebird and Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird were easily found. Looking down along the river course and around the thundering waterfall we found a pair of Giant Kingfishers as well as Great Cormorant, Grey Heron and Common Sandpiper, and two Nile Monitors slipped behind large boulders. A fruiting tree provided a feast for Yellow-rumped Seedeaters, Violet-backed Starlings, Spot-flanked Barbet (right), White-headed Barbet as a Grey-headed Kingfisher, an open woodland bird, made sorties from a nearby perch. www.wildsidenaturetours.com www.eastafricanwildlifesafaris.com © Adrian Binns Page 1 It was a gorgeous afternoon at the Castle Forest Lodge set deep in forested foothills of the southern slope of Mt. Kenya. While having lunch on the verandah, overlooking a fabulous valley below, we had circling Long-crested Eagle (above right), a distant Mountain Buzzard and African Harrier Hawk.

  • 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).

    JOURNAL OF THE EAST AFRICA NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY AND NATIONAL MUSEUM 15 October, 1978 Vol. 31 No. 167 A CHECKLIST OF mE SNAKES OF KENYA Stephen Spawls 35 WQodland Rise, Muswell Hill, London NIO, England ABSTRACT Loveridge (1957) lists 161 species and subspecies of snake from East Mrica. Eighty-nine of these belonging to some 41 genera were recorded from Kenya. The new list contains some 106 forms of 46 genera. - Three full species have been deleted from Loveridge's original checklist. Typhlops b. blanfordii has been synonymised with Typhlops I. lineolatus, Typhlops kaimosae has been synonymised with Typhlops angolensis (Roux-Esteve 1974) and Co/uber citeroii has been synonymised with Meizodon semiornatus (Lanza 1963). Of the 20 forms added to the list, 12 are forms collected for the first time in Kenya but occurring outside its political boundaries and one, Atheris desaixi is a new species, the holotype and paratypes being collected within Kenya. There has also been a large number of changes amongst the 89 original species as a result of revisionary systematic studies. This accounts for the other additions to the list. INTRODUCTION The most recent checklist dealing with the snakes of Kenya is Loveridge (1957). Since that date there has been a significant number of developments in the Kenyan herpetological field. This paper intends to update the nomenclature in the part of the checklist that concerns the snakes of Kenya and to extend the list to include all the species now known to occur within the political boundaries of Kenya. It also provides the range of each species within Kenya with specific locality records .

  • Implications of the Distribution of Seismicity Near Lake Bogoria in the Kenya Rift
    Geophys. J. Int. (1991) 105, 665-674 Implications of the distribution of seismicity near Lake Bogoria in the Kenya Rift P. A. V. Young,'" P. K. H. Maguire,' N. d'A. Laffoley' and J. R. Evans2 'Department of Geology, Leicester University, University Road, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK 'British Geological Survey, Murchbon House, West Mains Road, Edinburgh EH9 3LA, UK Accepted 1991 January 2. Received 1990 July 19; in original form 1988 May 5 SUMMARY Previous seismicity studies in the Kenya Rift have not been able to determine accurately depths of earthquakes, nor have most of them determined epicentres precisely enough to allow correlation of the seismicity with particular surface features. We operated a small dense seismic array for 3 months near Lake Bogoria in the Kenya Rift with the aim of locating microearthquakes in 3-D. 572 earthquakes, 81 per cent with ML< 1.0, have been located. The majority of the events are associated with the larger older faults on the Rift shoulder rather than the young 'grid' faults in the centre of the Rift. Seismic activity in the central trough cannot be related directly to the surface faulting; we infer that it indicates the presence of deep buried faults. This possibility has important implications for extension estimates and models of the Rift. Most of the activity occurs at depths less than 12 km, and no normal activity is deeper than 16 km. There is a peak in seismic activity at a depth of 9-10 km and the cut-off depth for brittle failure is taken at 12 km.
