Rainfall erosivity is the power of rainfall to cause soil erosion by water. The rainfall erosivity
index for a rainfall event (energy-intensity values–EI 30) is calculated from the total kinetic …

In this paper, rainfall erosivity based on different time intervals was evaluated for the
Penedès region (Northeast Spain), an area affected by high erosion processes …

Mauritius is a volcanic island with a raised interior where extreme rainfall events dominate
rainfall erosivity. Intra-event characteristics of the 120 highest erosive events at six selected …

Abstract Round Island, a small (219‐ha) volcanic island 22.5 km north of Mauritius, has
steep slopes and thin soils. This small tropical island was previously subjected to …

ABSTRACT Mauritius is a Small Island Developing State (SIDS) with a high population
density and increasing agricultural, urban and infrastructural demands, superimposed over …

Small island states are vulnerable to soil erosion due to fragile natural resource bases and,
particularly in tropical environments, erosive rainfall. Few studies, however, provide erosion …

Topographic complexity and island-scale weather systems on Mauritius result in highly
variable spatial and temporal rainfall distribution. This, in combination with the intense …

Geomorphology in southern Africa has evolved into a unique, distinct and recognised
discipline within the earth science context. Since its inaugural meeting in 1988, the Southern …

Round Island is a small (208 ha) islet of volcanic origin located 22.5 km north east of
mainland Mauritius and has been classified as a nature reserve since 1957. Two sites were …

“Fort Hare was… a beacon for African scholars from all over Southern, Central and Eastern
Africa. For young black South Africans like myself, it was Oxford and Cambridge, Harvard …
