Records of the frequency and magnitude of floods are needed on centennial or millennial
timescales to place increases in their occurrence and intensity into a longer-term context …

Abstract The Late Quaternary climate history of South Africa and, in particular, potential
changes in atmospheric circulation have been subject to considerable debate. To some …

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 …

This paper presents continuous, high resolution fossil pollen and microcharcoal records
from Bo Langvlei, a lake in the Wilderness Embayment on South Africa's southern Cape …

South African coastal lake sediments provide an excellent opportunity to investigate
