Pleistocene shoreline deposits comprised of calcified shallow marine (palaeobeach) and
aeolian (palaeodune) facies found along mid-latitude coastlines can be useful indicators of …

Intertidal zones on shorelines are geologically complex features of the coastal plain, shaped
by heterogeneous substrate lithologies. Palaeocoastlines have been heavily modified by …

The continental margin of southern South Africa exhibits an array of emergent marginal
marine sediments permitting the reconstruction of long-term eustatic sea-level changes. We …

In exposures of Pleistocene rocks on the east coast of South Africa, eight sedimentary facies
were distinguished on the basis of petrology, grain size, internal structures and field …

The southern Cape coast of South Africa boasts an impressive suite of Plio-Pleistocene
aeolian dune deposits (aeolianite). Previous research has shown that in this region onshore …

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

The sedimentation on the Mauritanian shelf off the western Saharan desert is strongly
influenced by dust supply and is investigated in this study by combining surface mapping …

The western continental margin of South Africa is a dynamic environment. It is a site of
intense upwelling and high productivity, as well as a repository for large quantities of …

This study investigates Holocene sediments from Eilandvlei, a coastal lake located within
the Wilderness embayment at the southern Cape coast of South Africa. The evolution of the …

Cenozoic sedimentary successions have a restricted distribution, both onshore and offshore,
along the passive western margin of southern Africa and much controversy and uncertainty …
