This week with our 2nd year @camunigeography.bsky.social students we’ve been learning about varve lake sediments and what they’ve revealed about abrupt climate change. It’s been fun! Here is a peek at some diatomaceous varves in the Lake Chala cores from Kenya/Tanzania. Enjoy…
The surface of a split sediment core, with a cm scale along each edge. You can see about 8 cm of the core. The surface shows fine mm-scale to cm-scale laminations, which for the most are alternating light-dark couplets. There is a cocktail stick marking a ~1 cm grey layer, which is a volcanic ash deposit.

We now have studies from Kenya, Ethiopia, and Malawi all suggesting the same thing: that African savanna mammals migrated *very little* before the Holocene!
caleyorr.bsky.social Caley Orr @caleyorr.bsky.social · 21d
"We found no evidence of migratory behavior in species that exhibit this behavior today. Ancient foragers likely hunted prey that were available year-round, consistent with zooarchaeological and genetic evidence for reduced mobility at the end of the Pleistocene." 🏺🧪🦣
