Barrier systems contain lengthy, but complex, records of long-term environmental
fluctuations. The Wilderness embayment, South Africa, contains a system of shore-parallel …

Coastal barrier systems have been widely used to understand the responses of coastal
margins to fluctuating Pleistocene sea levels. What has become apparent, particularly with …

Submerged shorelines hold much potential for examining the interplay between the rate of
sea-level rise and geomorphic setting, and informing the development of models of …

The Wilderness dune cordons consist of steep-sided ridges up to 207 m high separated by
coastal lakes. They probably formed during the sea-level highstands of the Pleistocene …

Coastal geomorphic systems have been studied widely to understand the responses of
shorelines to fluctuating sea levels. Submerged shorelines, remnant of Pleistocene sea …

On the SE African shelf, a submerged shoreline at a depth of 60 m is examined and its
attributes compared between two shelf sectors with different morphologies, yet similar …

This paper reviews recent work, particularly from eastern Canada, on the dynamics and
evolution of coarse clastic barriers. It is argued that an understanding of Quaternary coastal …

The southern coastline of South Africa exhibits extensive aeolianites and spectacular barrier
dunes; the ages and palaeoenvironmental significance of which have, until recently …

Prograded barriers are distinctive coastal landforms preserving the position of past
shorelines as low relief, shore-parallel ridges composed of beach sediments and commonly …

Abstract The Peninsula Formation of the lower Paleozoic Cape Basin is well exposed on the
Cape Peninsula, where it comprises a 750-m-thick quartz arenite complex transgressively …
