Lake-level fluctuations and Late Quaternary climate change in the Central Kenya Rift
… dass die hoch gelegenen Seen des Zentralen Keniarifts, als Teil des Ostafrikanischen Grabensystems, besonders geeignete Klimaarchive darstellen, da sie sensibel auf klimatische Veränderungen reagieren. Veränderungen der Seechemie, wie sie in den Sedimenten aufgezeichnet werden, eignen sich um die …

Experimental study of the effect of CO₂ on dehydration melting of Kenya Rift alkali basalt at crustal conditions, An
Includes bibliographical references (pages 118-130).

Denudation processes in a tectonically active rift on different time scales
Continental rifts are excellent regions where the interplay between extension, the build-up of topography, erosion and sedimentation can be evaluated in the context of landscape evolution. Rift basins also constitute important archives that potentially record the evolution and migration of species …

Thermal and mechanical development of the East African Rift System
… flanks, and volcanoes of the Western and Kenya rift systems have developed along the western and eastern margins of the 1300 km-wide East African plateau. Structural patterns deduced from field, Landsat, and geophysical studies in the Western rift reveal a series of asymmetric basins …

East African climate variability on different time scales : the Suguta Valley in the African-Asian Monsoon Domain
… from the remote Suguta Valley in the northern Kenya Rift, located between the WAM and ISM domains. The presently desiccated valley was during the AHP filled by a 300 m deep and 2200 km2 large palaeo-lake due to an increase in precipitation of only 26%. The record explains the synchronous onset …

Phytolith Analysis as a Palaeoecological Tool for Reconstructing Mid-to Late-Pleistocene Environments in the Olorgesailie Basin, Kenya
… research. It is located in the southern Kenya rift system (1˚ 35´S and 36˚ 27´E) and has preserved numerous archaeological findings of the Acheulean, Sangoan and Middle Stone Age occupations and most importantly, hominin cranium associated with the Acheulean hand axes. Evidence of past …

Topographic evolution of the East African Plateau : a combined study on lava-flow modeling and paleo-topography
… of geodynamic plateau uplift, active continental rifting, and associated climatic forcing. It is an integral part of the East African Rift System and has an average elevation of approximately 1,000 m. Its location coincides with a negative Bouguer gravity anomaly with a semi-circular shape, …

Hydrology across scales : sensitivity of East African lakes to climate changes
The lakes of the East African Rift System (EARS) have been intensively studied to better understand the influence of climate change on hydrological systems. The exceptional sensitivity of these rift lakes, however, is both a challenge and an opportunity when trying to reconstruct past climate …
