Origin and palaeo-environments of calcareous sediments' in the Moshaweng dry valley, Southeast Botswana
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/117935722/grouphome/home.html, 2002)
Quaternary sedimentation in the Moshaweng dry valley of southeastern Botswana is evaluated on the basis of geomorphological evolution and sedimentological analyses. Stratigraphic evidence reveals an 'upper surface (1095 ...
Fire and its influence on microbial community structure and soil biochemical properties in the Okavango Delta, Botswana
(Academic Journals. http://www.academicjournals.org/SRE, 2007)
The influence of wild fires on microbial community structure, soil organic matter, sulphur oxidising and
nitrifying microbial populations in the floodplains of the Okavango Delta of Botswana was assessed.
Microbial ...
Origins of strandline duricrusts around the Makgadikgadi Pans (Botswana Kalahari) as deduced from their chemical and isotope composition
(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 ...
Assessment of vegetation indexes useful for browse (forage) prediction in semi-arid rangelands
(Taylor and Francis http://www.clas.ufl.edu/lueci/southworth/RS-class-advanced/Discussion-readings/Moleele%20et%20al%202001%20Assessment%20of%20veg%20indexes%20i.pdf, 2001)
Considerable signi® cance is placed on the mapping and monitoring
of degraded areas in semi-arid regions of the world, including Botswana. Degraded
areas include those suVering from bush encroachment, believed to result ...
Cryptic indicators of provenance from the geochemistry of the Okavango Delta sediments, Botswana
(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 ...
Use of the geochemical and biological sedimentary record in establishing palaeo-environments and climate changein the Lake Ngami basin, NW Botswana
(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 ...
Sedimentological and geochemical evidence for palaeo-environmental change in the Makgadikgadi subbasin, in relation to the MOZ rift depression, Botswana
(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 ...
Pollution implications of Save River water from weathering and dissolution of metal hosting minerals at Dorowa phosphate mine, Zimbabwe
(Elsevier Science Ltd, http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pce, 2010)
The study set out to determine the weathering and dissolution of metal hosting minerals at Dorowa for purposes of deducing pollution potential to the nearby Save River. Phosphate rock is mined at Dorowa for
the production ...
Natural attenuation of mining pollutants in the transboundary Save River
(Elsevier Science Ltd, http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pce, 2011)
The objective of the study was to investigate the role played by the natural environment in protecting the
transboundary Save River from the impacts of metals derived from phosphate mining at Dorowa. The
study is a follow ...
Minerals that host metals at Dorowa Rock Phosphate Mine, Zimbabwe
(Bentham Open, http://www.benthamscience.com/open/tomj/index.htm, 2011)
This study set out to establish the major minerals at Dorowa and determine which of those are likely to host metals that may leach into surface and groundwater. This study comes after a preliminary assessment of the water ...
