Abstract:
The Kuiseb River is one of the major ephemeral rivers of Western Namibia, setting the northern limit of the Namib Sand Sea and outflowing in the Atlantic Ocean at Walvis Bay. Such ephemeral rivers are of the highest importance for the country since they are related both to recent past climatic conditions and to potential water resources. Using high-resolution radar images from the Japanese ALOS-2 satellite, we mapped for the first time the numerous channels hidden under the surface aeolian sediments: while the non-permanent tributaries of the Kuiseb River appear north of its present-day bed, a wide paleochannel system running westward, assumed by previous studies, could be clearly observed in the interdune valleys in the south. Radar-detected channels were studied during fieldwork in May 2019, which produced both subsurface ground-penetrating radar profiles and high-resolution drone-generated digital elevation models. It allowed us to confirm the existence of the “Paleo–Kuiseb” drainage system, a remnant of the Holocene history of the Kuiseb River, moving northward under the progression of the Namib Sand Sea. Our observations also contribute to the explanation of the young age of the linear dunes at the northern edge of the Namib Sand Sea, which are currently active and are pushing the Kuiseb River course toward the north.

Abstract:
AbstractPrevious studies suggest that the Homeb silts of the Kuiseb valley, Namibia (i) accumulated in a dune-dammed lake, (ii) are end-point deposits, (iii) represent an aggrading river bed, and (iv) are slackwater deposits. Thus, they have been used alternatively as evidence of past drier conditions or past wetter conditions. Lithostratigraphic analysis of two sediment sequences at Homeb indicates sedimentation by aggradation of the Kuiseb River triggered by a transition from an arid to humid climate. OSL ages for the sequences were obtained by the SAR protocol on aliquots of 9.6-mm and 4.0-mm diameter and on single grains. Four-millimeter aliquot minimum ages closely approximate the single-grain minimum ages and are younger than 9.6-mm aliquot minimum and central ages. Based on these results, the small-aliquot (4-mm) approach appears to provide ages comparable to those obtained by the more laborious and time-consuming single-grain method. Minimum ages indicate rapid deposition of the Homeb Silts in at least two episodes centered at ∼15 ka and ∼6 ka during climate transitions from arid to humid. Flash floods eroded the valley fills during slightly more arid conditions.

Abstract:
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Okaukuejo 1993
This study was designed to investigate the eco-physiology of baboons (Papio cynocephalus ursinus) in a troop living in the Kuiseb River canyon of the central Namib desert, Namibia. Answers were sought for two major questions: what Were the baboons prospects for survival and were there special adaptations allowing for their survival in their desert environment? To answer the former, life history phenomena of individuals and demographic changes within the troop were studied over a six year period. Results showed that the troop was not self-sustaining. Ectco-parasite infestations killed the majority of infants born to high ranking female baboons, while infant kidnapping by high ranking females killed most lower ranking females' infants. The high infant mortality appeared to affect the behaviour of adult male baboons in the troop, causing non-paternal males to fight harder to maintain a rank with reproductive opportunities, usually with serious wounding or death as a consequence. Answers to the latter question involved investigation into the baboons feeding patterns and diet, body temperature regulation, water flux rates and methods of body water conservation. Despite their desert environment, the baboons had access to plants of high water content and Were not dependent on free water intake. Plant foods also had low electrolyte concentrations. Body temparetures of three free-ranging baboons recorded by intraperitoneal radio tolemeters were remarkably labile, indicating an adaptive heterothermy. The baboons appeared to employ evaporative cooling only when water was available to drink and used cool sub-surface sand to slow their body temperature rises. water flux rates determined using tritiated water of three free-ranging baboons were not different to those of baboons from elsewhere. Acquisition of free water at times of water scarcity was strictly rank related. Body water conservation was apparently achieved through a combination of factors: urine concentration of Kuiseb baboons increased significantly when they were water deprived. The kidneys of the Kuiseb baboons, obtained from baboons that died naturally were anatomically significantly different and head greater urine concentrating abilities than the kidneys Of baboons from the northern Transvaal, South Africa. Kuiseb baboons showed efficient faecal water conservation, similar to other desert adapted mammals, Body water also was apparently conserved by engaging in water conservative behaviour, predominantly inactivity.
