Kanule, J; Ng’etich, W.; Rotich, S (Environmental Research Communications, 2019)

Hydrological factors such as volumetric water content(VWC)and pore-water content(PWC)havebeen cited widely as significant factors that trigger slope failures especially shallow landslides anddebrisflows. Over the years, ...

Global patterns and drivers of ecosystem functioning in rivers and riparian zones

Tiegs, Scott; Masese, Frank; Simiyu, Gelas (Science Advances AAAS, 2019)

River ecosystems receive and process vast quantities of terrestrial organic carbon, the fate of which depends strongly on microbial activity. Variation in and controls of processing rates, however, are poorly characterized ...

Mapping Landslide Susceptibility Along the Nandi Escarpment in Malava Sub-CountyKakamega County, Kenya

Chepkosgei, E.; Ucakuwun, E. K.; Nduru, G. M. (Africa Environmental Review, 2022)

Landslidesmay occur in hilly terrain due to a combination of factors like deforestation, heavy precipitation, slope steepness and gravity, land use and cover. Whenever they occur, they may result in disasters such as loss ...

Numerical modeling of translational dynamics forshallow landslides based on flume tests – specialcase of spherical-cap-shaped slope sections

Kanule, J.; Ng'etich, W. (Taylor & Francis, 2019)

Slope failures can endanger human life and cause infrastructural destruction and socioeco-nomic loss. Geoscientists have strived to develop constitutive models and real-time slopemonitoring models and systems to abate these ...

On-Site Runoff Management, Challenges and Prospects in Amalemba, an Urban Informal Settlement in Kakamega Municipality, Kakamega County, Kenya

Musonye, P. K.; Ucakuwun, E. K.; Munyao, T. M. (African Environmental Review Journal, 2022-06)

This study investigated the challenges and prospects of on-site runoff management in Amalemba informal urban settlement in Kakamega Municipality, Kenya. The study followed a qualitative research design. Visual observations, ...
