Desertification Natural background and human mismanagement
Land degradation
Australian desert landscapes
Implementation of the plan of action to combat desertification
Desertification and the future of the arid lands
Uncritical optimism concerning the potential development of arid Australia, justifiably questioned by Griffith Taylor in the past, has also been a feature of world expectations for its drylands. That optimism was shattered by the recent Sahelian and other drought disasters. Progressive desertification, involving both environmental and social degradation of the drylands, is now revealed as a pressing world problem. Drought stress on sensitive ecos…
Desert Landforms
Perspectives on Desertification
Over the past few years I have been involved in two substantial reviews of the problem of desertification: that conducted since 1972 by the IGU Working Group on Desertification [6; 8] including a symposium held at Ashkhabad and that recently mounted in preparation for the United Nations Conference on Desertification. The subject has become increasingly topical over the past few years, and the studies cited earlier in this volume are only part of …

Pediment Land Forms in Little Namaqualand
Pediment Land Forms in Little Namaqualand, South Africa
This account of erosional piedmont surfaces, or pediments, in part of Little Namaqualand, South Africa, is based on field trips in 1949 and 1950 aided by grants from the University of Cape Town Staff Research Fund. Little has hitherto been written of this region, but its wealth of land forms and the useful supporting evidence of air photographs render it a profitable field of study. The physical sub-regions of Little Namaqualand are shown below. …
Cape Hangklip
Cape Hangklip consists of the abrasion platform of the 60 Foot Sea, partially regraded at the 20–25 Foot Stage and at the 12–14 Foot Sub-stage of the succeeding regression. A basal shingle may be evidence of this marine withdrawal. In its upper parts, the platform was buried by peat which formed towards the close of the Early Stone Age. A succeeding Middle Stone Age occupation level was buried by sand-dunes advancing from the south and east. With…
