Sedimentology, stratigraphy and geological history of part of the northern KwaZulu-Natal coastal dune cordon, South Africa.
(1999)The northern KwaZulu-Natal coast is backed by a continuous aeolian dune cordon that rises in places, to a height of more than 100 metres and a width of 2 kilometres. This MSc thesis documents the geomorphology of the ... -
Seismic stratigraphy of the northern KwaZulu-Natal upper continental margin.
(1998)This study presents the interpretation of Edo-Western and Sparker seismic geophysical data acquired on the northern KwaZulu-Natal upper continental margin by various organisations since 1981. Five seismic sequences are ... -
Seismic, geochemical and sedimentological characteristics of storm deposits from the Durban continental shelf, South Africa.
(2015)The Durban shelf is a wave-dominated, high energy setting, characterised by submerged shorelines at depths of ~60 m, backed to landward by low-relief backbarrier depressions. The exposure at the seafloor of a back-barrier/lagoon ... -
Seismic-stratigraphic models for late Pleistocene/Holocene incised valley systems on the Durban continental shelf.
(2013)This dissertation examines the Durban continental shelf of the east coast of South Africa from a seismic and sequence stratigraphic perspective. High resolution seismic data reveal eleven seismic Units (A-K) offshore ... -
The stratigraphy of the Natal Group.
(1994)Research for this project involved the first systematic field and laboratory investigation over the entire known portion of the Natal Group depositional basin, from just north of Hlabisa in the north, to Hibberdene in the ... -
Structure and evolution of the Zinkwazi and Umdloti barrier spit and inlet systems along the KwaZulu- Natal coastline, South Africa.
(2017)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Submarine canyon evolution of the Southwest Cape continental margin.
(2017)Submarine canyons are diverse geomorphological systems that are characterised by a wide variety of geomorphic and sedimentary processes. The complexities that arise during their evolution reveal changes in the tectonic and ... -
Submerged shoreline sequences on the KwaZulu-Natal shelf : a comparison between two morphological settings.
(2013)Holocene shoreline sequences and associated shelf stratigraphy are described from a high gradient, high wave energy shelf offshore the central KwaZulu-Natal and northern KwaZulu-Natal coastlines. These are examined using ... -
A two-dimensional hydrodynamic model for the St Lucia Estuary mouth.
(1993)The reduced fresh water input into the St Lucia Estuary combined with the increase of sediment in the St Lucia Lake System has necessitated the implementation of a dredging programme. To ensure the effectiveness of the ... -
Zinc-lead mineralization at Pering Mine in the Griqualand West sub-basin : an isotopic study.
(1992)Detailed studies, both chemical and physical, have been performed on various dolomites and vug-filling carbonates, to determine the pathways and extent of the mineralizing fluids associated with the Pering Zn-Pb deposit ...
