We here review what is known about the dunefields and fluvial systems of the Kalahari
Basin in terms of geological setting and Quaternary dynamics and set out what has been …

Since tectonic subsidence in sedimentary basins provides the potential for long-term facies
preservation into the sedimentary record, analysis of geomorphic elements in modern …

This study presents an integrated mineralogical–geochemical database on fine-grained
sediments transported by all major rivers of southern Africa, including the Zambezi …

Much of the drainage of Africa is relatively youthful. Many of its major rivers have shown
substantial changes in their courses since the break up of Gondwanaland in the Cretaceous …

Wetlands are poorly documented features of many landscapes, and there is often little
understanding of the geomorphological controls on their origin, development and …

The Kalahari basin formed as a response to down-warp of the interior of the southern Africa,
probably in the Late Cretaceous. The down-warp, along with possible uplift along …

The Okavango Delta of northern Botswana is a large (40,000 km2) alluvial fan located at the
terminus of the Okavango River. The river discharges about 10km3 of water onto the fan …

A distinct series of beach ridges marking the former shorelines of large inter-connected
lacustrine basins in the Kalahari can be clearly identified from Landsat imagery and Shuttle …

Soil and groundwater salinization is a major problem in aquatic systems throughout the semi-
arid and arid regions. An interesting example of a natural terminal evaporative system is the …

The wetlands of the Okavango Delta accommodate a multitude of ecosystems with a large
diversity in fauna and flora. They not only provide the traditional livelihood of the local …
