(University of NairobiSchool of Biological Sciences, 2009)The objective of the study was to investigate the distribution and some ecological aspects of land snails in Shimba Hills National Reserve, Kenya. This study was important because no scientific study on snails has been ... -
Application of geophysical well-logs in exploration for stratigraphic traps in the Lamu Basin
(University of Nairobi, 2009)World's oil and gas reserves are rapidly diminishing and they don't have to actually run out before precipitating a crisis. Predictions indicate that the peak and subsequent decline in world oil production will probably ... -
Three dimensional mean wind flow and thickness patterns over Africa
(1983)Conventional radiosonde wind observations and geopotential heights have been used to prepare ten-year mean motion field and thickness patterns over the African continent and its immediate neighborhood. Data for 75 ... -
