EU/Th AND 14 C isotope dating of lake sediments from sacred lake and lake Nkunga, Kenya
(University of NairobiDepartment of Geology, 2001)In the tropical regions, lake and swamp sediment core chronologies have traditionally been established solely by radiocarbon dating. In several instances, however, the radiocarbon sampling resolution has been coarse, ... -
Steady rifting in northern Kenya inferred from deformed Holocene lake shorelines of the Suguta and Turkana basins.
(University of NairobiDepartment of Geology, 2012-05-15)A comparison of deformation rates in active rifts over different temporal scales may help to decipher variations in their structural evolution, controlling mechanisms, and evolution of sedimentary environments through time. ... -
East African mid-Holocene wet-dry transition recorded in palaeo-shorelines of Lake Turkana, northern Kenya Rift.
(University of NairobiDepartment of Geology, 2012-05-15)The ‘wet’ early to mid-Holocene of tropical Africa, with its enhanced monsoon, ended with an abrupt shift toward drier conditions and was ultimately replaced by a drier climate that has persisted until the present day. The ... -
Mortality Projection: Curve Fitting And Linear Regression
(School of Mathematics, 2011)This study was aimed at predicting future mortality rates given two main scenarios. The first is in the case where there is a body of mortality tables from the past and the second is in the case where such a database ... -

Trace metals in Lates niloticus and Rastrineobola argentea samples for human consumption at Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria
(University of NairobiDepartment of Chemistry, 2009)Trace metals were determined in the two most abundant fish species in the Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria (Lates niloticus and Rastrineobola argentea). The results show that the concentratios of the metals have no significant ... -
The fate and dissipation of surface applied 14C‐DDE in a tropical soil
(University of NairobiDepartment of Chemestry, 1996-10-19)The results of a study conducted to follow the dissipation, distribution and fate of 14C‐p,p'‐DDE in a tropical soil under field conditions are reported. 14C‐DDE was applied to soil columns in PVC cylinders (of lengths: ... -
