Soil Erosion and Conservation
This is a review of worldwide land degradation problems. Four themes are emphasized: delineating and estimating the magnitude of soil erosion, quantifying erosion and sedimentation impacts on land productivity, establishing quantitative values for erosion-causing parameters, and implementing global and regional soil and water conservation programs. Papers deal with both developing and developed countries and illustrate how erosion control techniq…

The State of Africa in the 1980s
Famine in Africa in 1985 drew the world's attention to the continent and in particular to the Sahel zone and Ethiopia. These regions, it was remembered, had suffered from drought and famine twelve years earlier. Was the drought still continuing? How had conditions changed over the years? What should be done to prevent such things happening in the future? Have geographers anything to contribute towards answering such questions? Usually academics c…

Geomorphological investigations of the evidence for environmental changes have often been made in association with archaeological work, for example, studies in Nubia by Butzer and Hansen (1968) and Wendorf and Schild (1976), and work in the Central Sudan and Blue Nile valley by Arkell and Ucko (1965), A…

Former Lake Levels and Climatic Change in the Rift Valley of Southern Ethiopia
Lakes in the Ethiopian rift are sensitive indicators of Late Quaternary climates. Lake Stefanie (Chew Bahir), which has been dry most of this century, was 20 m deep about 5660 years ago. Fed from Lakes Abaya and Chamo it probably over flowed to Lake Rudolf at that time and was a part of the Nile system. The four Galla lakes, Ziway, Langano, Abiyata and Shala, were united into one large lake which bverflowed to the Awash River in the Late Pleistoc…

The Ancient Erg of Hausaland, and Similar Formations on the South Side of the Sahara
northern Nigeria is formed into low rounded ridges, and that these are ancient dunes bearing witness to the former prevalence of desert conditions. Their outlines have been modified by erosion, and they are well covered by woodland in many areas so that it is difficult for an observer on the ground to appreciate their arrangement. From the air, however, the dune patterns are clear, and they are strikingly apparent on blocks of air photographs tha…

Soil Erosion and Population Problems in South-East Nigeria
IN the African colonies future development depends largely on full use being made of the soil and standards of living can rise only with increased production. This in itself entails the danger of soil exhaustion, of which accelerated erosion is often only a symptom. On account of growing populations and consequent overfarming, even the maintenance of present standards is already difficult in some areas. There are large areas in Nigeria with more …

Desertification of Arid Lands
Geographical Introduction to the Sahel
The Sahel is the zone between the Sahara desert and the savanna lands to the south. It is characterized by the strong seasonality of the climate with a short rainy season and a long intensely dry season. Its limits are not readily definable. Conditions in the zone vary markedly from north to south with rainfall, and also over short and long periods of time as the rainfall varies. The long term variations in climate have left a strong impress on t…

Sand Formations in the Niger Valley between Niamey and Bourem
Niamey and the two cuestas of massive Cambrian sandstone which are aligned ENE.WSW., between 12 and 20 kilometres north of Ayerou. Here dunes are rare on the Tertiary sandstone plateaus between Tillaberi and Niamey and only a little more frequent in the tributary valleys. All the dunes examined were fixed by grass and were only recognizable as low ridges, less than 6 metres high, which had evidently been much degraded. All the dunes appeared to b…
