AbstractThe Little Michiru complex is a composite intrusion of pyroxenite and pyroxene syenite which is located at the boundary between amphibolite and granulite facies gneisses in the Shire rift valley. Pyroxene and feldspar chemistry shows that the intrusion consolidated from two magmatic fractions, one a pyroxenite cumulate that equilibrated at 870–1000 °C, the other a partly anatectic pyroxene syenite magma which metasomatized the surrounding gneisses during granulite-facies metamorphism and equilibrated at a temperature of 730–830 °C at 7 kbar.

Abstract:
Debates over the ‘Zimba’ period of Zambesian history prompt a new consideration of the mythical element in oral traditions. The work of Matthew Schoffeleers on Mbona, presiding spirit of a famous rain-shrine in southern Malawi, is exploited in order to cast doubt on his reconstruction of sixteenth/seventeenth-century political history. It is suggested that Mbona was the serpentine power immanent in the Zambesi; that reports of his ‘martyrdom’ at the hands of a secular ruler are versions of an ancient and widespread myth of the lightning and the rainbow, whose opposition establishes the due alt

Rain signals the start of a distribution of rain that is unsuitable for plant development, whereas lighting marks the end of rain's ability to support plants.

Abstract. In response to the increasing frequency and economic damages of natural disasters globally, disaster risk management has evolved to incorporate risk assessments that are multi-dimensional, integrated and metric-based. This is to support knowledge-based decision making and hence sustainable risk reduction. In Malawi and most of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), however, flood risk studies remain focussed on understanding causation, impacts, perceptions and coping and adaptation measures. Using the IPCC Framework, this study has quantified and profiled risk to flooding of rural, subsistent com

With the influx of Mozambican refugees poaching escalated. Government action was inadequate and by 1992 reports suggested the elephant population had been eliminated. In 1994 ground and aerial surveys confirmed no elephant remained in the region.

The leading climate index fitting Shire River flow anomalies is the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) Palmer drought severity index, based on interpolated gauge rainfall minus Penman–Monteith potential evapotranspiration.

Despite the evident importance of fishing in Malawi, its role in the territorial colonial economy has been largely ignored. This paper focuses on the evolution of fishing and fish-trading at the south end of Lake Nyasa (Lake Malawi), emphasising the interaction between ecological change and changes in market opportunity. During the late nineteenth century, fishing played an important role in the economy of the Mang'anja people alongside agricultural production.

This article is a partial answer to M. D. D. Newitt, who proposed that settled Maravi states were established only as a result of the rise of Muzura in the first half of the seventeenth century (cf.

It is argued here that the orthodox view is still valid in the case of the Lundu state in the lower Shire valley, and perhaps also in the case of some of the neighbouring states.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Malaria transmission is influenced by a complex interplay of factors including climate, socio-economic, environmental factors and interventions. Malaria control efforts across Africa have shown a mixed impact. Climate driven factors may play an increasing role with climate change. Efforts to strengthen routine facility-based monthly malaria data collection across Africa create an increasingly valuable data source to interpret burden trends and monitor control programme progress. A better understanding of the association with other climatic and non-climatic drivers of malari

Abstract:
Abstract The lower Shire valley region in Malawi has long been characterized by floods which have accounted for many fatalities and disaster-related economic losses in the region. Rain-fed crop production has also been adversely affected by such floods, subsequently leading to the region registering the highest levels of poverty in the country due to low agricultural crop production. This study employed both qualitative and quantitative methods and based on what is practiced in the region and elsewhere, recommended strategies that would lower the risk of engaging in crop production under flood

Abstract:
This study aims to investigate the capacity of bagasse ash (BA) incorporating limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) for stabilisation of black cotton soil (BCS) in Shire Valley, Malawi, in terms of shearing and durability properties. First, BA and LC3 were developed, and their physiochemical properties were investigated. Specimens were created of BA incorporating LC3 in mix ratio of 2:1, respectively. BA incorporating LC3 specimens were blended into BCS at mix proportions of 0% to 12%. The mixtures were subjected to 3, 7, 15 and 30 curing days, and 10°C and 32°C curing temperatures, under confi

Abstract:
The Livingstone Mountains (LM; also known as the Kipengere Range) found in south-western Tanzania at the northern end of Lake Nyasa are an important region for understanding the biogeography of Eastern Africa. The two branches of the East African Rift Valley meet here and the mountains might represent stepping stones for colonization and migration between different parts of the Eastern Afromontane Biodiversity Hotspot (especially the link between the Eastern Arc Mountains, EAM, and the Southern Rift Mountains, SRM), as well as an efficient barrier to gene flow for taxa living in drier savannah

Abstract:
Abstract Background Anopheles funestus is a leading vector of malaria in most parts of East and Southern Africa, yet its ecology and responses to vector control remain poorly understood compared with other vectors such as Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles arabiensis. This study presents the first large-scale survey of the genetic and phenotypic expression of insecticide resistance in An. funestus populations in Tanzania. Methods We performed insecticide susceptibility bioassays on An. funestus mosquitoes in nine regions with moderate-to-high malaria prevalence in Tanzania, followed by genotyping
