Late Pleistocene and Holocene lake level fluctuations in the Lake Bogoria bassin, northern Kenya Rift Valley in Palaeoecology of Africa and the surrounding islands-Vol 13.
Lake Bogoria is a closed-basin, saline alkaline lake in the Kenya Rift Valley. The sedimentology and mineralogy of three long drill-cores from the lake floor, and the marginal fluvio-deltaic and littoral deposite are studied here. During the late
