Late Pleistocene wetting and drying in the NW Kalahari
Holocene aeolian activity in the southwestern Kalahari Desert, southern Africa
Little is known about the timing of dune-building episodes in the southwestern Kalahari Desert. Previously, arid phases when dune activity occurred have been inferred from gaps in chronologies derived from information that attests to former humid periods. To redress this, optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating was applied to sediment samples taken from a range of aeolian landforms in the SW Kalahari. Four periods of dune building are iden…

Paleoclimatic Significance of the Stable Isotopic Composition and Petrology of a Late Pleistocene Stalagmite from Botswana
High-resolution δ 18 O and δ 13 C analyses of a stalagmite from Lobatse II Cave reveal late Pleistocene environmental changes in Botswana. Large shifts in δ 18 O and δ 13 C are observed between two main periods of deposition. The first period, between 51,000 and 43,000 yr B.P., was warm and humid and may have been associated with some C 3 vegetation. The second period, between 27,000 and 21,000 yr B.P., had temperatures approximately 2°C lower, a…
The Kalahari Environment
Late Quaternary Landforms and Environmental Change in Northwest Botswana
Lake Ngami and the Mababe Depression contain series of concentric shoreline features controlled by volume: area thresholds in the Okavango Delta region. Of particular interest are the 945 m (Lake Palaeo-Makgadikgadi) and the 936 m shorelines, the latter representing the amalgamation of the two lakes along the Thamakalane axis. Lower shorelines and fluvial landforms permit reconstruction of the final desiccation of the two lakes. Preliminary datin…
The Desiccation of Lake Ngami
southern Africa concerns Lake Ngami, at the distal end of the Okavango Delta. When Livingstone and his companions first visited the north-east end of the lake on 1 August 1849 they beheld a 'fine-looking sheet of water' (Livingstone, 1858a : 75), yet the lake bed at present is dry, and has been so on a number of occasions during this century. The apparent diminution of the lake inferred from the observations of Victorian travellers led, by the th…
