Cryptic indicators of provenance from the geochemistry of the Okavango Delta sediments, Botswana
Huntsman-Mapila, P.; Kampunzu, A.B.; Ringrose, S.; Vink, B. (Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/sedgeo, 2005)The siliciclastic sediments of the Okavango inland Delta of northwest Botswana have a modal composition of quartz arenites and result from a complex history, including transport by river and deposition in a nascent rift ... -
Deltamethrin in sediment samples of the Okavango Delta, Botswana
Daka, P.S.; Obuseng, V.C.; Torto, N.; Huntsman-Mapila, P. (Water SA Pretoria; Water Research Commission; http://www.wrc.org.za/, 2006-10)Deltamethrin concentrations were determined in 35 sediment samples collected from three different habitats: channel, lagoon and pool sites from Xakanaxa in the Okavango Delta, NW Botswana. The samples were Soxhlet-extracted ... -
Origins of strandline duricrusts around the Makgadikgadi Pans (Botswana Kalahari) as deduced from their chemical and isotope composition
Ringrose, S.; Harris, C.; Huntsman-Mapila, P.; Vink, B.W.; Diskins, S.; Vanderpost, C.; Matheson, W. (Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/sedgeo, 2009)Trace elements togetherwith some O and C isotope analysiswere undertaken on duricrust strandline deposits in the palaeo-Makgadikgadi sub-basin (PMSB) to provide insight into palaeo-climatic conditions through the interpretation ... -
Sedimentological and geochemical evidence for palaeo-environmental change in the Makgadikgadi subbasin, in relation to the MOZ rift depression, Botswana
Ringrose, S.; Huntsman-Mapila, P.; Kampunzu, A.B.; Downey, W.; Coetzee, S.; Vink, B.W.; Matheson, W.; Vanderpost, C. (Elsevier www.elsevier.com/locate/palaeo, 2005)This work considers new evidence for palaeo environmental change taking place during the Pleistocene in northern Botswana. Duricrusted strandlines along the northeastern margin of Sua Pan provide palaeo-environmental data ... -
Use of the geochemical and biological sedimentary record in establishing palaeo-environments and climate changein the Lake Ngami basin, NW Botswana
Huntsman-Mapila, P.; Ringrose, S.; Mackay, A.W.; Downey, W.S.; Modisi, M.; Coetzee, S.H.; Tiercelin, J.-J.; Kampunzu, A.B.; Vanderpost, C. (Elsevier, www.sciencedirect.com, 2006)Sediment samples from a continuous 4.6m profile in the dry bed of Lake Ngami in NW Botswana were analysed for geochemistry and dated using both 14C and TL methods. Certain units in the profile were found to be diatom rich ...
