Surface elevation changes in an estuarine mangrove forest in Vanga, Kenya: Implications for management and mitigation of sea-level rise Open
Mangrove ecosystems are often called “makers of land” due to their ability to promote deposition, trap, and augment sediments. Accurate location- and region-specific elevation information is required to assess and mitigate threats to mangr…
View article: Productivity driven by Tana river discharge is spatially limited in Kenyan coastal waters
Productivity driven by Tana river discharge is spatially limited in Kenyan coastal waters Open
The Tana River is the longest river system in Kenya (~1000 km) and contributes ~ 50% of the total river discharge to Kenyan coastal waters. The river discharges significant amounts of nutrients and sediments, reaching ~24,000 tons per day …
Factors influencing spatial patterns in primary productivity in Kenyan territorial waters Open
This study was formulated to investigate productivity systems within Kenyan territorial waters. The interaction of processes on the margins of the marine waters, particularly the influx of fresh water loaded with sediments and nutrients, i…
Geochemical and petrographic characteristics of sediments along the transboundary (Kenya–Tanzania) Umba River as indicators of provenance and weathering Open
The Umba River basin is one of the smaller-scale hydrological basins in the East African region. It traverses two countries, with its catchment in the Usambara mountains in Tanzania, while it drains its waters to the Indian Ocean in Vanga,…
Satellite-derived bathymetry: A case study of Mombasa Port Channel and its approaches, Kenya Open
Bathymetry refers to the depth of the water column in relation to sea level. It is fundamental in marine spatial plan- ning, resource exploration and sustainable management of marine resources. It is also vital for safety of navigation, an…
