DOI: 10.1002/2016jc012247
Abstract: A modeling approach is used to investigate the influence of the Agulhas on the southern Benguela system. Two climatological ROMS simulations are run that are identical except that in one of them the effect of… read more here.

Coupling Relationship between Shelf-Edge Trajectories and Slope Morphology and Its Implications for Deep-Water Oil and Gas Exploration: A Case Study from the Passive Continental Margin, East Africa

DOI: 10.1007/s12583-020-1288-8
Abstract: Both the shelf-edge trajectories and slope morphology are indicative of deep-water sedimentation, but previous studies are relatively independent from each other in the two dimensions. An integrated investigation can enhance the understanding of deep-water sedimentary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rsma.2017.10.009
Abstract: Abstract The modulation of near-surface currents off Durban (29.9S, 31E) is studied using monthly and daily ocean and atmosphere reanalysis products. Poleward flow on the shelf-edge exhibits long-lived 2–3 yr and 50–150 day fluctuations, whereas… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/g46693.1
Abstract: The geometry of basin-margin strata documents changes in water depth, slope steepness, and sedimentary facies distributions. Their stacking patterns are widely used to define shelf-edge trajectories, which reflect long-term variations in sediment supply and relative… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0284961
Abstract: Drifting fish eggs and larvae (ichthyoplankton) can be identified to species using DNA metabarcoding, thus allowing for post hoc community analyses at a high taxonomic resolution. We undertook a regional-scale study of ichthyoplankton distribution along… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/bg-15-7315-2018
Abstract: Abstract. New production, i.e. that driven by allochthonous nutrient inputs, is the only form of primary production that can lead to net increases in organic material and is, therefore, important for understanding energy flow in… read more here.
