Recent brackish water Ostracoda and Foraminifera 2013-2014, South Africa

Distribution data and accompanying environmental data for Ostracoda and Foraminifera from surface sediment samples from the Wilderness area and Knysna estuary in South Africa...

n-Alkanes and compound-specific isotopes in the Orange River system

The summer rainfall zone (SRZ) in the South African interior experienced pronounced hydrological and vegetation changes during the Holocene inferred to be driven mainly by...

Organic-walled dinoflagellate cyst analysis of sediment core GeoB8331-4 and f...

Atmospheric and oceanographic interactions between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans influence upwelling in the southern Benguela upwelling system. In order to obtain a better...

Holocene investigations of sediments from Eilandvlei

This study investigates Holocene sediments from Eilandvlei, a coastal lake located within the Wilderness embayment at the southern Cape coast of South Africa. The evolution of...

Element concentrations in surface sediment samples from the Delagoa Bight (so...

The discrimination of sediment provenance from specific source regions is a crucial prerequisite for the paleoclimatic interpretation of terrigenous sediment archives. The...

Late Holocene alkenone-derived sea-surface temperature data and grain size en...

Southwest Africa is an important region for paleo-climatic studies, being influenced by both tropical and temperate climate systems and thus reflecting the interplay of variable...

Raw X-ray fluorescence (XRF) scannings and radiocarbon age of sediment cores ...

Variations in the sediment input to the Namaqualand mudbelt during the Holocene are assessed using an integrative terrestrial to marine, source to sink approach. Geochemical and...

Linking catchment hydrology and ocean circulation in Late Holocene southernmo...

Due to the high sensitivity of southern Africa to climate change, a reliable understanding of its hydrological system is crucial. Recent studies of the regional climatic system...

Late Pleistocene to Holocene GDGT data in Mfabeni peat, South Africa

This data set includes integrated peak areas for all measured GDGTs in two cores from Mfabeni, such as tetra-, penta-, and hexamethylated 5-methyl branched GDGTs as well as...

XRF and grain size analyses of sediment cores GeoB18303-2 and GeoB18304-1

Two cores, GeoB18303-2 and 18304-1 were collected using a marine vibrocorer during cruise M102 offshore Durban, South Africa in December 2013. These were collected under the...
