Abstract The Makgadikgadi Pans in northern Botswana are the desiccated relicts of a former
major inland lake system, with fossil shorelines preserved at five distinct elevations (~ 995 …

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 …

The Kalahari features a long-lived lacustrine system which may exist since the Early
Pleistocene. The emergence of an extant cichlid fish radiation from this (palaeo-) lake during …

A detailed investigation of geomorphological evidence of paleoshorelines and exposed
stratigraphic sections of lake deposits, combined with a chronology based on radiocarbon …

Some radiocarbon dates concerning the late Quaternary development of the southern
Kalahari and the Ngami-Makgadikgadi area are given. The southern Kalahari is …

The drainage system in south-central Africa has undergone major reorganisations since the
disruption of Gondwana. Isopachs of the Kalahari sequence and a variety of …

A systematic drilling and optical dating programme on Middle Kalahari beach ridge (relict
shoreline) sediments has enabled the identification of multiple episodes of lake high stands …

The Kalahari region has become a major source of Quaternary palaeoenvironmental data
derived primarily from the analysis of geomorphological proxies of environmental change …

Abstract The Middle Kalahari of northern Botswana contains three palaeolake basins, with
shorelands enclosing an area of 60,000 km 2, linked to the Okavango Delta and the …

Sedimentological and geochemical analyses of four cores from Lake Edward, East Africa,
provide a detailed record of climate and lake-level changes during the Late Pleistocene and …
