Study of igneous and sedimentary rocks that may be representative of the chemical and
isotopic characteristics of portions of the upper continental crust (UCC) has provided …

Diamictites produced by continental glaciations were deposited in the Mesoarchean (∼ 2.9
Ga), Paleoproterozoic (∼ 2.4–2.2 Ga), Neoproterozoic (∼ 0.75–0.58 Ga), and Paleozoic (∼ …

Abstract The Rehoboth Province of southern Africa is defined by its smooth magnetic
character by contrast to the adjoining mobile belts. It has been slow to yield information …

Surface heat flow provides essential information on the thermal state and thickness of the
lithosphere. Southern Africa is a mosaic of the best‐preserved and exposed crustal blocks …

The African continental crust was assembled by a series of orogenies over a period of
billions of years mainly in Precambrian times. Tracing the build-up history of this stable crust …

Mesoproterozoic crustal evolution of southwestern Africa involved a complex interplay over
600 million years of subduction, plate-margin or intraplate sedimentation, volcanism and …

Southern Africa, here taken as the region that comprises the Kalahari and southern Congo
Cratons, and the important orogenic belts that surrounded or separated them during the …

Abstract The Permo-Carboniferous glacial Dwyka Group deposits in Namibia provide the
first evidence for high sedimentation rates caused by a Carboniferous/Permian extensional …

We report new P and S wave velocity models of the upper mantle beneath southern Africa
using data recorded on seismic stations spanning the entire subcontinent. Beneath most of …

Assessment of seismic hazard is challenging especially for low seismicity regions like
southern Africa. There is very little knowledge in terms of the coupling between the …
