Landscape evolution and equilibrium in Southern Africa : insights from cosmogenic noble gases in Karoo dolerites and geospatial analyses
Southern Africa’s landscape is characterised by a high plateau (elevation > 1,000 m) bound by escarpments and extensional continental margins, and the region has been influential in the development of geomorphological theory. However, the evolution of this landscape in response to tectonic and …
