Reconstructing the Changes in Sedimentation and Source Provenance in East African Hydropower Reservoirs: A Case Study of Nyumba ya Mungu in Tanzania

Amasi, Aloyce; Wynants, Maarten; Kawalla, Remegius; Sawe, Shovi; Munishi, Linus; Blake, William; Mtei, Kelvin (MDPI, 2021-08-08)

This study aimed to reconstruct the sedimentation rates over time and identify the changing sources of sediment in a major hydropower reservoir in Tanzania, the Nyumba ya Mungu (NYM). Fallout 210Pb measurements were used ...

Drivers of increased soil erosion in East Africa’s agro-pastoral systems: changing interactions between the social, economic and natural domains

Wynants, Maarten; Kelly, Claire; Mtei, Kelvin; Munishi, Linus; Patrick, Aloyce; Rabinovich, Anna; Nasseri, Mona; Gilvear, David; Roberts, Neil; Boeckx, Pascal; Wilson, Geoff; Blake, William; Ndakidemi, Patrick (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 19-06-18)

Increased soil erosion is one of the main drivers of land degradation in East Africa’s agricultural and pastoral landscapes. This wicked problem is rooted in historic disruptions to co-adapted agro-pastoral systems. ...

Tackling soil degradation and environmental changes in Lake Manyara Basin, Tanzania to support sustainable landscape/ecosystem management.

Munishi, Linus; Mtei, Kelvin; Bode, Samuel; Dume, Bayu; Navas, Ana; Nebiyu, Amsalu; Semmens, Brice; Smith, Hugh; Stock, Brian; Boeckx, Pascal; Blake, Will (EGU General Assembly Conference Abstracts, 2017-04)

The Lake Manyara Basin (LMB), which encompasses Lake Manyara National Park a world ranking World Biosphere Reserve, is of great ecological and socio-economic value because it hosts a small-holder rain fed and extensive ...

Soil erosion and sediment transport in Tanzania: Part I – sediment source tracing in three neighbouring river catchments

Wynants, Maarten; Munishi, Linus; Mtei, Kelvin; Bodé, Samuel; Patrick, Aloyce; Taylor, Alex; Gilvear, David; Ndakidemi, Patrick; Blake, William; Boeckx, Pascal (Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2021-12)

Water bodies in Tanzania are experiencing increased siltation, which is threatening water quality, ecosystem health, and livelihood security in the region. This phenomenon is caused by increasing rates of upstream soil ...

Novel use of portable gamma sensors to rapidly assess soil status and recovery in degraded East African agro-pastoral land

Blake, Will; Amasi, Aloyce; Kelly, Claire; Lewin, Shaun; Mkilema, Francis; Msale, Furaha; Mtei, Kelvin; Munishi, Linus; Nasseri, Mona; Ndakidemi, Patrick; Taylor, Alex (Copernicus Publications, 2024-05-01)

Soil resources in East African agro-pastoral lands are being rapidly depleted by erosion, threatening food, water and livelihood security. Here we explore the utility of innovation in portable gamma sensors to rapidly ...

Soils, Science and Community ActioN (SoilSCAN): a citizen science tool to empower community-led land management change in East Africa

Kelly, Claire; Wynants, Maarten; Patrick, Aloyce; Taylor, Alex; Mkilema, Francis; Nasseri, Mona; Lewin, Shaun; Munishi, Linus; Mtei, Kelvin; Ndakidemi, Patrick; Blake, William (IOPscience, 2022-08-02)

Pastoralist communities worldwide face complex challenges regarding food and feed productivity. Primary production systems are under stress, nutritional choices are changing and the relationship between development and ...
