An important geographic gap in our reconstructions of                      tropical climatology lies between Tanzania and South Africa.                    This project addresses this problem by reconstructing the history               of lake level and water chemistry in Lake Malawi, a large, steep-               sided lake at the southern end of the east African Rift System.                 The project will utilize sediment cores and high resolution                     seismic profiles to reconstruct the history of lake level                       fluctuations for at least the past 20,000 years.  In addition the               project will reconstruct the depth fluctuations in the water                    column of the oxic-anoxic boundary from elemental analysis of the               sediments.  Developing a history of climate at this location will               help us to determine the relationship and coherency of climatic                 fluctuations at high- and low-latitude locations since the last                 glaciation.
