The Second International Symposium on the East African Lakes was
held from 10-15 January 2000 at Club Makokola on the southern shore
of Lake Malawi. The symposium was organized by the International
Decade for the East African Lakes (IDEAL), a research consortium of
African, European and North American scientists interested in
promoting the investigations of African Great Lakes as archives of
environmental and climatic dynamics. Over one hundred African,
European and North American scientists with special expertise in
the tropical lakes participated in the symposium which featured
compelling presentations on the limnology, climatology,
palaeoclimatology and biodiversity of the East African Lakes. It is
their papers that comprise this book. The large lakes of East
Africa are important natural resources that are heavily utilized by
their bordering countries for transportation, water supply,
fisheries, waste disposal, recreation and tourism. The lakes are
unique in many ways: they are sensitive to climatic change and
their circulation dynamics, water-column chemistry and biological
complexity differ significantly from large lakes at higher
latitudes; they have long, continuous, high resolution records of
past climatic change; and they have rich and diverse populations of
endemic organisms. These unique properties and the significance of
the palaeolimnological records demand and attract research interest
from around the world.
