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 …

The intersection of archaeological material with the landscape is investigated using OSL
dating of landforms associated with Middle Stone Age (MSA) archaeology in the …

Abstract The Okavango Delta in North Botswana is a hot‐spot of biodiversity within the semi‐
arid central part of the South African plateau. This endorheic ecosystem is highly dependent …

Elemental geochemistry, Nd isotopes, clay minerals, and U-Pb zircon ages integrated by
petrographic and heavy-mineral data offer a multiproxy panorama of mud and sand …

The temporal coupling of the structural evolution of the Kalahari Basin and the accumulation
of the Kalahari Group sediments has been an accepted paradigm leading to the assumption …

Evaluating the impact and implications of eolian repositories that mark large-scale climatic
transitions requires knowledge about the timing of their emplacement and the mechanisms …

The imprint of neotectonics is frequently obscured in low-relief environments by the
sedimentary cover. This is the case in the Chobe Enclave, part of a pristine region of the …

The origin and evolution of clay minerals in sedimentary basins are usually influenced by
changes in depositional hydrochemistry. The formation and preservation of rare fibrous …

The Okavango Delta in North Botswana is a hot-spot of biodiversity within the semi-arid
central part of the South African plateau. This endorheic ecosystem is highly dependent on …

This thesis presents a study of the composition of sand from desert dunes and adjacent
rivers across the African continent to illustrate the effects of the interplay between fluvial and …
