Grain-size analysis and end-member modeling of the clastic fraction of the 25-kyr sediment sequence from Lake Chala, a meromictic crater lake on the lower east slope of Mt. Kilimanjaro, reveal crucial aspects of climate-driven environmental change in equatorial East Africa since the Last Glacial Max...
