Diatoms as paleolimnological indicators: a reconstruction of Late Quaternary environments in two East African salt lakes

Lakes Magadi (Kenya) and Manyara (Tanzania) occupy closed basins in the southern Gregory Rift valley. Water in these lakes is presently shallow and saline, testifying to the dominance of evaporation (E) over precipitation (P). Past changes in the P: E ratio, and hence in palaeoclimate, can be recons...
