Fluctuating Fisheries in Africa's Inland Waters: Well

This paper evaluates evidence that fish stocks in Africa's inland waters are climate-driven and cannot be stabilized by conventional fisheries management measures. We draw on published material and our own recent and on-going research in Lake Chad and the East African Great Lakes area to propose that fisherfolk's livelihood strategies are well adapted to both seasonal and inter-annual climate-i...

Variability of particulate organic carbon in inland waters observed from MODIS Aqua imagery

Surface concentrations of particulate organic carbon (POC) in shallow inland lakes were estimated using MODIS Aqua data. A power regression model of the direct empirical relationship between POC and the atmospherically Rayleigh-corrected MODIS product (Rrc,645Rrc,1240)/(Rrc,859-Rrc,1240) was developed (R 2 = 0.72, RMSE= 35.86 μgL, p< 0.0001, N = 47) and validated (RMSE= 44.46 μgL, N= 16) with f...

Inland Waters of Samothraki Island (Greece): Exploratory Ecological Assessment

Samothraki is a northern Aegean island with poorly studied inland waters. River features show a high degree of naturalness; lotic, lentic and riparian conditions exhibit significant perennial flows with waterfalls, pools and ancient riparian woodlands. In this study, we document surface and ground water quality status based on recent field observations, data collection and analyses. The island ...
