1. The diversity of moths in a nature reserve in the Northern Cape, South Africa : Variation over time, depending on abiotic factors and differences between areas with different grazing types
Kandidat-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)Sammanfattning : Land use changes globally have significant impacts on flora and fauna. In South Africa, extensive land is used for grazing by both domestic livestock and farmed native grazers. However, the effects of different grazing types on vegetation and fauna remain poorly understood. LÄS MER
2. Written in the Sand; The San people, statelessness and the Logic of the State
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionenSammanfattning : The San people of the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa remain stateless, in a region undergoing rapid modernisation. Like other stateless groups, they exist peripherally within the states that they legally and territorially belong. LÄS MER
3. U-Pb geochronology of the Tsineng dyke swarm and paleomagnetism of the Hartley Basalt Formation, South Africa : evidence for two separate magmatic events at 1.93 – 1.92 and 1.88 – 1.84 Ga in the Kalahari craton
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenSammanfattning : Robust geochronology and well-constrained paleopoles are the main tools for paleogeographic reconstructions. Through the completion of so called barcode diagrams (matching of coeval events of mafic magmatism between blocks) and determination of the apparent polar wander paths, these studies provide a better understanding of the position of continents and supercontinents in the past.

4. Evaluation of Current and Feasible Future Use of Geothermal Energy at Chinyunyu Hot Spring, Zambia
Master-uppsats, KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologiSammanfattning : The main source of geothermal energy is the heat flow from the mantle beneath the Earth’s surface, generated by the gradual decay of radioactive isotopes in the Earth‘s crust. A hot spring is produced by the emergence of geothermally heated groundwater flowing out to the Earth’s surface. LÄS MER
5. Mammal densities in the Kalahari, Botswana – impact of seasons and land use
Magister-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesSammanfattning : In the Kalahari, Botswana, as in many other parts of the world, wildlife is experiencing an increased pressure from a growing human population and intensified land use with domestic livestock. The intensified pressure on the vegetation cover induced by livestock limits the abundance of resources and creates a fragmented landscape for wild animals. LÄS MER
