High-velocity layers in basins with significant sub-basalt coverage, such as the Magadi basin, can impede geophysical imaging of potential subsurface hydrocarbon deposits. Using magnetic and gravity methods, this study examines the influence of volcano-tectonic processes and the basement on the evolution of the Magadi basin. Regional-residual separation analyses identified key structures and signatures. Lineaments and depths of the causative sources were determined using Euler deconvolution....

Iron deficiency is among the leading risk factors for poor cognitive development. However, interventions targeting iron deficiency have had mixed results on cognitive outcomes. This may be due to previous interventions focusing on the correction of iron deficiency anaemia in late infancy and early childhood, at which point long lasting neural impacts may already be established. We hypothesise that the relationship between iron status and cognitive development will be observable in the first...

Climate risks in African cities are complex. Actors must adopt new, collaborative practices to respond to such risks. The theory of expansive learning was deployed in this study to investigate the process and nature of change emanating from transdisciplinarity for navigating such risks. Expansive learning is concerned with the transformative agency practiced by actors to redefine their practices, which are rooted in a particular cultural and historical context, towards novel collaborative...

Africa’s worsening air pollution has received too little attention. We argue that actions are needed in energy transition management, transport emission regulation and waste management to protect Africa’s air quality.
