Wetlands are essential for the natural function of ecosystems, because they regulate floods and have many other significant functions. However, land use-land cover (LULC) changes are the main drivers of wetland deterioration globally, and Zambia is no exception. This study examined LULC changes...

Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are receiving increased attention in the environment due to their link to lifestyles diseases like hypertension, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers. This research aimed at assessing the presence and quantities of heavy metals and organic EDCs in...

Vulnerability refers to the degree to which human and environmental systems are likely to experience harm due to perturbation or stress. This study investigates the vulnerability of Zambezi headwaters in Ikelenge District, North-Western Province of Zambia, to potential contaminants using...

In recent years the demand for improved assessments tools to help in understanding the wetland hydrological and hydrodynamic processes for the Barotse floodplains is ever increasing especially with the advent of climate change/variability. Despite several studies in the Upper Zambezi Basin, there...

Mining is the main source of export income and contributes significantly to the Zambian gross domestic product. Besides its contributions to exports, the mining industry plays a pivot role in the economic and socio-political development of Zambia. It also provides essential mineral based raw...

Human access to water and sanitation services is essential to sustainable development. However, people living in unplanned settlements still lack water and sanitation services. Monze town lies in the Southern Province of Zambia and it consists of both planned and unplanned settlements. Southern...

Since 1995, Konkola Mine No.1 Shaft in Zambia has been experiencing increased seismic activity, leading to more rockburst incidents, which could present significant safety and production challenges at deeper levels. This study aimed to develop tools to predict rockburst from microseismic and...

The area of northeastern Zambia, between Chama and Lundazi towns, is underlain by rocks belonging to the Irumide Fold Belt, a Mesoproterozoic orogenic belt whose geology is dominated by biotite gneisses, which often show incipient migmatisation, that belong to the Kampemba Group. Less common...
