Crustal structure of the Anza graben from gravity and magnetic investigations
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 1994)The area of the present study constitutes the northeastern sector of the Anza graben. In this sector, the graben is about 130 km wide and is characterized by a linear negative anomaly with an amplitude about −40 mGal. ... -
Seismic structure of the upper mantle beneath the southern Kenya Rift from wide-angle data
(1997)In February 1994, the Kenya Rift International Seismic Project carried out two wide-angle reflection and refraction seismic profiles between Lake Victoria and Mombasa across southern Kenya. Our investigation of the data ... -
Early Hominin Foot Morphology Based on 1.5-Million-Year-Old Footprints from Ileret, Kenya
(2009)Hominin footprints offer evidence about gait and foot shape, but their scarcity, combined with an inadequate hominin fossil record, hampers research on the evolution of the human gait. Here, we report hominin footprints ... -
