| During the Quaternary the volume of the world’s oceans fluctuated, with sea level falls as the water has been incorporated into polar and high latitude ice sheets, and sea level rise as these have subsequently melted. Sea-level lowstands were therefore related to the Pleistocene glaciations, while high-stands correlate with interglacials. In general the climate variations in Africa shows a simple relation: Cold or cool climates are associated with dry episodes and warm climates are associated with wet episodes. This applies to the major Milankovich driven glacials and interglacials, as well as to short-lived intervals related to sun spot activities. The reconstruction of palaeoshorelines in the Maputo Bay, and the climate around the Maputo Bay is based on... |

| The coastal region of Maputaland-Mozambique is characterised by an extensive lowlying coastal plain, which rises to a height of more than 100 metres in some places and attain a width of 2 kilometres. Maputaland in Mozambique extends from Ponta de Ouro, which borders South Africa to Cabo Santa Maria stretching for a distance over 100 kilometres, and encloses several swamps and coastal lakes such as Satine, Piti, Munde and Nela running in north south direction. The main objective of this study was to access the different categories of dune morphology in Maputaland- Mozambique by using aerial photographs, satellite images and field checking. Two major distinct dune systems on the Maputaland coastal morphology were mapped: (1) vegetated dunes form a coastal... |
