This paper discusses geological events with an approximately global preservational scale which can aid inter-cratonic correlations and contribute to postulates of supercontinents for a set of chosen Precambrian cratons. ...

98% of South Africa‟s total CO2 geological storage capacity is in the form of deep saline formations located off-shore, while the remaining 2% is situated on-shore. Such formations may not have a similar proven sealing ...

Although no unambiguous biogenic criteria exist to discriminate Precambrian shallow-marine succes-sions from fluvial deposits, physical sedimentological evidence, including an association of primarysedimentary structures ...

THE FORMER RAND AFRIKAANS UNIVERSITY, now University of Johannesburg, has acted against its own and the South African national interest by terminating the 25-year-old collaboration with the Ben Gurion University of the ...

The ∼2.23 Ga Hekpoort Formation (Transvaal sub-basin) and the ∼2.43 Ga Ongeluk Formation (Griqualand West sub-basin) represent voluminous Paleoproterozoic igneous events on the Kaapvaal craton of South Africa that predate ...

Although the similarities between depositional processes and products as well as the analogous controls on basin-filling and evolution appear to have enjoyed great uniformity throughout the sedimentary rock record, a ...

TM data and other medium spatial resolution satellite data are used in geological and lithological-mineralogical classification on regular basis, although their usefulness is limited because of relatively coarse spectral ...

Unequivocal evidence for Archean eukaryotic life has been long sought for and is a matter of lively debate. In the absence of unambiguous fossils this debate has focused on biogeochemical signatures and molecular phylogenies. ...
