	Lake Malawi Drilling Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Lake Malawi is situated at the southern end of the East African Rift Valley, and has long been recognized as an outstanding laboratory and archive for the study of tropical paleoclimatology, extensional tectonics, and evolutionary biology.
		Along with Lake Tanganyika, Lake Malawi holds the promise of a high-resolution paleoclimate record of unparalleled antiquity in the continental tropics.
		Lake Malawi is one of the world's largest, deepest (maximum water depth of 700 m), and oldest lakes (2-7+ ma), and is the largest lake in the southern hemisphere (9º-14ºS) after Lake Tanganyika.

		Lake Malawi was born during the times of seismic upheaval when the earth's crust was split in a long gash stretching from the Dead Sea right down the length of Africa as far as the Zambezi River.
		The southernmost lake in the chain is Lake Malawi, the waters of which feed into the Shire River and from there are carried via falls and rapids, through deep gorges and winding across plains, until the Shire spills its waters into the great Zambezi River.
		Lake Malawi is set among rolling hills, some rising steeply from the water, and covered in tropical vegetation.

	Preserving the Future for Lake Malawi
		The environmental degradation of Lake Malawi can be attributed to four factors: high population growth rates, the economic value of the lake, the Malawian lake-shore culture, and the continued harvesting of large quantities of fish.
		Lake Malawi's fauna is unique, and it has one of the highest species diversities of any lake in the world.
		For example, the government established the Lake Malawi National Park with the aim of protecting the fish species and at the same time ensuring that surrounding villages would continue to fish, thereby getting funds from tourism without depriving the fishers of their traditional means of living.

	Setting Up A Lake Malawi Cichlid Tank
		Lake Malawi cichlids do not stand high temperatures very well; an effort should be made to locate the aquarium away from any sunny windows/space heaters, which could cause the water to overheat.
		Malawi cichlids can be messy fish and overcrowding is sometimes necessary so over-filtering a tank is usually a good idea.
		Lake Malawi, being a rift lake, is naturally rocky both along its shoreline and below the water descending to the depths.

	Lake Malawi / Niassa / Nyasa donors and partners meeting
		Lake MNN is the most biologically valuable lake in the African Great Lakes area, and is regarded as the most biologically important lake in the world.
		The lake ecosystem has been ranked among the priority freshwater areas because it probably carries more species of fish than any other lake in the world and accommodates 14% of the world's freshwater species, 99% of which are endemic.
		As the impacts on the lake are a result of human activities from the three riparian states, it is therefore essential that some form of collaborative transboundary management of the common resources is developed and implemented as a matter of urgency.

		The Lake Malawi Drilling Project seeks to undertake a scientific drilling campaign on Lake Malawi, to recover a series of ~400 m-long continuous sediment cores for paleoclimate studies.
		We will assess the phasing of lake level changes in Lake Malawi during this time,and determine if Malawi responded to Southern Hemisphere insolation forcing,as is suggested in late-Pleistocene and Holocene records.
		From the high-resolution Lake Malawi drill core records we will determine if high-frequency climate variations (analogous to Dansgaard-Oeschger or Heinrich events) are superimposed on glacial-interglacial timescale variations in the form of wet/dry cycles.
