The Diversity and Distribution of macrophytes in selected wetlands in the Lake Victoria Basin
REFNo: NS656ES

This study aims to make an inventory of wetland vegetation types of the Victoria Lake Belt. These areas are densely populated and the various pressures on the ecosystem will be recorded. Wetlands will be selected on the basis of their size and variability and preference will be given to wetlands with strong environmental gradients within them and a large variation of wetland types. The objective is to describe as much as possible the full spectrum of wetland vegetation types that are found within the region, describe the vegetation and their ecology and draft a strategic conservation plan for wetlands in this region.

Assessing cyanobacteria risks in Ugandan crater lakes through historical and contemporary perspectives
REFNo: NS679ES

- To reconstruct phycological time series to establish baseline conditions in the Crater Lake district of western Uganda and determine if (and when) cyanobacteria abundance and toxin-producing potential have changed over time. (Paleolimnology)

2) To examine the historical and societal influence of local (e.g., land use) and regional (e.g., climate) stressors on regulating cyanobacteria abundance and toxin-producing potential. (Paleolimnology)

3) To characterize spatiotemporal variation in cyanobacteria risks and determine the societal influences of local (e.g., land use) and regional (e.g., climate) stressors on regulating cyanobacteria abundance and toxin-producing potential. (Field Survey)
