plain that carves the concession in half separating the camp and allowing them to congregate on the large dry areas of Tubu. It is great for leopard sightings and has a good variation in terrain. All of this combined makes Tubu Tree one of the bestAfrica Safaridestinations on the continent....
While global deforestation induced by human land use has been quantified, the drivers and extent of simultaneous woody plant encroachment (WPE) into open areas are only regionally known. WPE has important consequences for ecosystem functioning, global ca
forcing, regional temperatures across the African continent are projected to continue increasing towards the end of the twenty-first century and beyond1,2(Fig.1b). Persistence of a predominantly inverse relationship between effective moisture and temperature would thus imply a continuation of the recent...
This was my first time in Africa, and I couldn’t imagine a better way to christen my 4th continent than by accepting the challenge of the Ultimate Human Race. All of us stood in quiet deference as “Shosholoza” expanded to fill the silence around City Hall. All 17,031 of us, ...
At the suggestion of Hilton, my taxi driver, I went a little out of the way to get to the southernmost point of the continent, Cape Agulhas, that was maybe a 150 mile detour. Headwinds made for slow travel, nothing like Patagonia, but it was the morning of the fifth day that I got...
A map of maximum conductivity at 200 km depth shows considerable variability in structure across the region (Figure 2; see also Jones et al. [2009b]). Within the confines (defined by crustal exposure and aeromagnetics) of the Kaapvaal craton, resistivity is generally very high, even at 200...
as opposed to who has the largest piece of pie. Africa is jam-packed with some of the world’s biggest things, the largest desert in the world, the Sahara Desert, The longest river in the world, the Nile River, and many more. Africa can be known as the continent with the largest nu...
Fig. 1. Tectonic map of the southern Africa terranes. Abbreviations for the tectonic terranes are: BGB = Barberton Greenstone Belt (3.45–3.25 Ga); BIC = Bushveld Intrusion Complex (2.05 Ga); CFB = Cape Fold Belt; CML = Colesberg Magnetic Lineament; dyke swarms: ODS = Okavango(~ 180 ...
Continent-Ocean boundary (COB) inferred from scenarios 1 and 2 as proposed in ref. 30. b Perspective map view showing the sampled dome on the Mozambique Ridge that is overall about 3 km east–west and 1.2 km in diameter and TV-grab sites DL2 and DL3. Figure from ref. 33. Full...
map where the available West Eurasian genetic component is closest to the Hub population and where such genetic proximity decreases as a function of geographic distance from the said location (Fig.2A). For each location of the map, with at least one sampled population within 2000 km, we ...
