  • Erosion studies on Mauritius

    Paul Sumner, Paul Douglas Sumner et al.ARTICLESouth African Geographical Journal2021

    Mauritius is a Small Island Developing State (SIDS) with a high population density and increasing agricultural, urban and infrastructural demands, superimposed over limited physical resources. Soil and coastal erosion are recognized as an important environmental challenge facing the island. Here we review the studies on soil erosion over the past two decades and more recent advances in understanding the coastal erosion dynamics. Soil erosion stud…

  • Commemorating three decades of the Southern African association of geomorphologists

    Paul Sumner, Paul D Sumner et al.ARTICLESouth African Geographical Journal2021

    Studies on the geomorphology of southern African have a long history extending back to the pioneering work in the early parts of the 20th Century by Dixey, Wellington and King, amongst others (see

  • Earth science research on Marion Island (1996–2020)

    Werner Nel, Jan Boelhouwers et al.ARTICLESouth African Geographical Journal2021

    Marion Island is a peak of a shield volcano located in the southern Indian Ocean. The island is strategically important for the collection of climatological data and marine and terrestrial research in a vast, oceanic region of the globe. This paper reviews the series of earth science programmes on Marion Island over the last 25 years, provides a synthesis of the research outcomes and demonstrates how field and laboratory methods have developed ov…

  • The glacial geomorphology of sub-Antarctic Marion Island

    Open AccessElizabeth M Rudolph, David William Hedding et al.ARTICLEJournal of Maps2021

    Since the discovery of glacial features on sub-Antarctic Marion Island, the character and extent of a historic glacial period have remained an important research focus for earth science investigations. Previous glacial reconstructions were limited to mostly pre-GPS field observations and pre-digital mapping through a Geographic Information System. With the aid of GPS field mapping, high-resolution satellite imagery and a digital surface model wit…

  • Thermal Attributes of Rock Weathering

    Paul Sumner, P D Sumner et al.ARTICLEPolar Geography2004

    Recent investigations into mechanical weathering in cold environments have highlighted products similarities to those of hot deserts. Although general temperature conditions between these two settings are obviously different on the basis of absolute air temperatures, the zonality with respect to thermal changes affecting the rock is less apparent. Data are presented here from four diverse environmental settings with particular emphasis on the flu…

  • Multimodal Enhancement of Culturally Diverse, Young Adult Musicians

    Open AccessWynand du Plessis, Stefan Burger et al.ARTICLESouth African Journal of Psychology2001References: 5

    Musicians, seeking stress relief and vocal/instrumental enhancement, often turn to the Tomatis Method of sensori-neural integration training, based on the interdependence and interaction between hearing and listening, psychological attitude and speech and language. The paucity of impact studies on musicians, despite its acclaimed efficacy, has prompted the current multidisciplinary pilot study, involving a two group, pre-post experimental design.…
