Abstract: Magadiite, a rare hydrous sodium-silicate mineral [NaSi 7 O 13 (OH) 3 ·4(H 2 O)], was discovered about 50 years ago in sediments around Lake Magadi, a hypersaline alkaline lake fed by hot springs in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2121388119
Abstract: Significance Although biodiversity in East Africa is overall extremely high, species richness is not geographically uniform for fishes and mammals. We investigated the biogeographic relevance of past river activity in the Kenya Rift. We show… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/sed.12442
Abstract: Multi-proxy analysis of sediment cores from five key locations in hypersaline, alkaline Lake Bogoria (central Kenya Rift Valley) has allowed reconstruction of its history of depositional and hydrological change during the past 1300 years. Analyses… read more here.
