Full textA critical synthesis of documents andliterature available in order to lay the groundwork for research on Namibia in french language. Hence the form of a monography in 11 chapters with many footnotes, and an ample bibliography. The first chapter depicts the interaction of the indigenous societies sheltered behind the namib, the second chapter analyses the dynamics of interests which turned germany into a colonial power, more particularly that of "south west africa". The clash of these two worlds is outlined in the thrid chapter : german colonialism carriedout with extreme violence and bent towards an anticipated apartheid society. The three following chapters point out how south africa appropriated this ready-made colony and set about its bantustanization, and deprived of her mandate, continued to colonize without a legal title. The part on recent developments starts with a structural picture of the economy with emphasis on the role of the "homelands", and continues to analyse the new upsurge of resistance. Chapter ix shows how pretoria, dragged into a decolonization process, has since tried to turn it to her advantage : emergence of a neo-apartheid policy, "contact group", a political and military regional strategy (nkomati, lusaka) destined to limit swapo's political leeway. Chapter x sets out the manifold implications of the uranium business (rossing). The final chapter traces out the lines of the future proportion of social forces on the internal scene : incapacity of colonial education to prepare independence, the creation of educational and training facilities abroad prompted pretoria into competing efforts in order not to lose the battle over the "modern elites" ; partial "deracialization" of apartheid's social hierarchy ; swapo's plans for a Namibia-centred development, South Africa's slide into a badly concealed state of civil war

Full textNamibia offers an excellent background for the analysis of community based organizations and their contribution in the development process. On a territory first submitted to german colonial genocide then to south-african led "crimes against humanity", up to an independant state gifted with one of africa's most democratic constitutions, community based development pioneers have been witnesses to many violent turmoils and active participants in numerous radical changes. Today land of contrasts, between rural tradition and urban development, arrogant wealth and absolute poverty, political democracy and economic apartheid, namibia is confronted with the challenge of leading a peoplecentred development from which all will benefit equally. This research centers on the community-based organizations' role in this process; of their contribution to building a nation of empowered citizens, based on more democratic ways of sharing the economic resources and the political power

Full textThis research attempts to bring to the fore the mode of overtaking the apartheid city model through the analysis of urban remodelling processes in Windhoek. The changes occuring in the Namibian capital city since the country arose to independence in 1990 are neither in line with a logic of break concerning the inherited model nor in line with the reproduction of the former development plan, as well as in the way in which the city is designed by the autorities as in the way it is practiced, appropriated and put out of shape by the city dwellers. By taking into account the mutations occuring in the field of land management, the logics and the modes of urban changes can be specified. In accordance with the political compromise that founded the Namibian State and allowed accession to power of the black population while protecting the assets of the white minority, one can witness the maintenance of ways of thinking the city inherited from the past. The urban model the officials try to reproduce turns out to be profoundly inadequate facing the new stakes specific of the post-apartheid society. Finally, because managers do not have another choice than to take into account the social and spatial mutations in progress, the mending of the inherited apartheid rules is articulated with the fomalization of new procedures and norms. As the invention of the city is fundamentally the fruit of a set of interactions between managers' interventions and city dwellers' practices, the latter reveal ways of living the city that go against the model promoted by the autorities and the diffusion of new norms within the city. In the end, this evolution made of in betweens shows an urban model that is neither the compact nor the fragmented city, although it contains elements of both. In Windhoek, the city is invented through the quiet overtaking of the apartheid city

Full textThe question of the independence of namibia constitutes one of the most complexes problems of colonialism on the african continent today. Amoung the most significant features of the current situation in namibia, it is necessary to noite on the one hand an extension of the repressive activities of the racist regime of south africa and the other hand, the intensification of the liberation war carried out by swapo against the racists occupation forces. In response to the decisions of the united nations, general assembly, the international court of justice and the united nations council for namibia, south africa has answered by further repressions and social inegualities. Incapable of persuading south africa either by negociations or by judicial process line up to its obligations of a mandate power, the assembly general took a historic decision: it revoqued the mandate and declared itself. The sole authority responsible for the administration of the teritory until its independence (resolution inspite of prolonged and contradictory negociations between south africa and the five western powers of the contact group (united states, france, great britain, canada and west germany) beetween 1976 and 1978, south africa policy has remained extremely hand: this policy has consisted of refusing to deal directly with swapo while admitting that all was negotiable. This refusal is inspite of the fact that swapo has been recognised by the united nations as the only true representative of the namibian people. The question of namibian independence has therefore become a struggle for influence between the west united states and soviet union. In this perspective namibia has been one of the cards in the strategique game of the great powers on the african continent

Full textThis PhD thesis aims at analysing the institutional governance and socio-economic impacts of tourism activities in Namibian communal lands. More specifically we test the relevance of three types of paradigms prevailing within the donor community. First, it is often alleged that sustainable utilization of renewable and non-renewable natural resources could contribute to rural development and poverty alleviation. In this context, tourism, based on natural capital prevailing in Namibia, is regarded as an efficient activity. Second, according to most donor agencies, mainstreaming rural communities within the tourism global commodity chain would enable them to better benefit from such tourism economic opportunities. Third, for such mainstreaming to be successful, experts argue that the private sector (private operators, accommodation companies) should highly contribute to tourism investment and development in communal lands. In particular, all stakeholders should promote formal and informal partnerships between rural communities and the private sector. In that case, rural communities could transfer their rights over a tourism site to a private operator, for the latter to undertake a tourism activity, hire and train local employees and involve the latter in project management. Finally, the operator would pay lease fees (royaltees) to the community. In order to test the relevance of those current paradigms we conduct an institutional analysis of the tourism sector in Namibia, in particular within communal lands (former ethnic homelands designated by the apartheid South-African regime until 1990). We proceed in three stages. First, we analyse the resources-activities-actors-revenues' sequence and show that photographic tourism activities generate significant economic value. We then present the respective role of all important actors in the tourism sector, namely the State, donors, NGOs and private companies, and argue that on the contrary rural communities still hold marginal power in the chain and thus capture a limited share of the income generated. Second, we build a new-institutional framework so as to better analyse the economic governance of tourism activities and therefore we propose a typology of possible institutional arrangements in tourism in communal lands. Within this typology, the thesis analyses two empirical cases in greater details. Third, we focus on a specific tourism hybrid institutional arrangement recently designed and promoted by donors and NGOs: community-private sector partnerships. We describe these, assess their impacts in terms of poverty alleviation and finally we try to explain why so far those partnerships have not delivered significant benefits for rural communities

Full textThe present work is an application of semiotic method to a rock art corpus. Relative works in rock art studies are presented and methodological considerations about visual semiotics as well. The work hypothesis consists of spatio-temporal structure of rock art. A model of corpus segmentation is elaborated in accordance with principles of the gestalt theory. Based on a ternary definition of the iconic sign, a study of the gestalt consituents is attempted. Furthermore, the units of segmentation, such as supragestalts, gestalts and constituents, are studied from a kinetic and syntactical point of view. An actantial model is established introducing concepts such as narrative program, function, actant and actor. The results of the work are reconstructed in order to outline an interpretation attempt for further discussions

Full textNamibia's independence process actually came to a conclusion on March 1st, 1994 with South Africa's return of the enclave of Walvis Bay to Namibia. This example is particularly noteworthy because the city is a key port and industrial centre for the young Namibian state. In today's prevailing context of decentralisation and liberalisation, local authorities established through the first democratic elections must base their reorganisation on three major imperatives : identifying the ongoing inequalities inherited from apartheid, managing demographic growth and attracting economic investment. Is this within their capacity ? What strategies is local government pursuing ? What types of social and spatial recomposition are those strategies giving rise to ? Using the example of Walvis Bay, this work analyses the changes in the mean of state intervention today and, judging from the forms they have taken, how they contribute to the overall process of transformation

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The lack of scientific psychometric aids for use during the critical stages of developmental phases of German-speaking Namibian pupils, necessitated this investigation. When careerrelated decisions like subject, course and career choices are made, most pupils require scientific information about themselves. Of all these sources of information, those pertaining to the measurement of interests play the most significant role in the making of career decisions. By means of the present study an attempt was made to develop an interest questionnaire for German-speaking pupils. The way in which items of Afrikaans and English interest questionnaires were formulated, as well as the vocabulary that was used in these questionnaires, resulted in uncertainties. Insufficient face validity together with irrelevant norms resulted in distorted pictures of pupils' interests with the subsequent non-optimal decisions or doubts regarding the validity of the instruments. Given the Southern African nature of the items of the KODUS-BelangstellingsvraelysjKODUS Interest Questionnaire as well as the more than satisfactory results that were achieved by the thorough research that went into the original standardisation, it was decided to translate and adapt these questionnaires for use with German speaking Namibian pupils. In translating and adapting the questionnaire various factors had to be taken into consideration ·in order to produce an instrument that would measure the same fields of interest as the original Afrikaans·· and English questionnaires. Following a pilot study, it was found that no alterations to the questionnaire would be required. The subsequent standardisation yielded results indicating that the questionnaire was translated and adapted satisfactorily and that it measures the same interest fields as the Afrikaans and English questionnaires. Separate norms had to be compiled for the various sex and standard groups. The "KODUS-Interessenfragebogen (Deutsch)" in its present form is suitable for scientific use with German-speaking pupils of Namibia.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die afwesigheid van wetenskaplik-gefundeerde psigometriese hulpmiddels wat op kritieke oomblikke in die ontwikkelingsfases van Duitssprekende leerlinge van Namibie gebruik kan word, het hierdie ondersoek genoodsaak. Wanneer vak-, studiekursus- en beroepskeuses gemaak word, benodig die meeste leerlinge wetenskaplik-verkree inligting oor hulleself. Van al die tipes hulpmiddels wat sodanige inligting verskaf, speel die wat belangstelling meet die belangrikste rol in die neem van beroepsbesluite. Deur middel van hierdie ondersoek is gevolglik 'n poging aangewend om 'n belangstellingsvraelys vir Duitssprekende leerlinge te ontwikkel. Die items van Afrikaans- en Engelstalige vraelyste is so gestel en die woordeskat wat gebruik is was van so 'n aard, dat dit dikwels tot onduidelikheid by leerlinge aanleiding gegee het. Gebrekkige gesigsgeldigheid wat tesame met nie-toepaslike norms in sommige gevalle 'n verwronge beeld van die leerlinge se belangstellings weerspieel het, het hieruit voortgevloei. In ag genome die Suider-Afrikaanse aard van die KODUS belangstellingsvraelysjKODUS Interest Questionnaire se items sowel as die meer as bevredigende resultate, wat met behulp van deeglike navorsing tydens die oorspronklike standaardisering van hierdie vraelyste verkry is, is besluit om hierdie vraelys vir Duitssprekende leerlinge van Namibie te vertaal, aan te pas en te standaardiseer. Tydens die vertaling en aanpassing moes verskeie faktore in aanmerking geneem word, sodat 'n vraelys daargestel kon word wat dieselfde belangstellings as die oorspronklike Afrikaanse en Engelse vraelyste sou meet. Na afloop van 'n vooraf-ondersoek. kon 'n normberekeningsondersoek sonder enige veranderings uitgevoer word. Uit hierdie normberekeningsondersoek is bevind dat die aanpassings en die vertaling wei bevredigend was en dat die vraelys dieselfde belangstellings as die oorspronklike Afrikaans- en Engelstalige vraelyste meet. Afsonderlike norms moes vir die verskillende geslagte en die onderskeie standerd-groepe opgestel word. Die KODUS-Interessentragebogen (Deutsch) is in sy huidige vorm geskik vir wetenskaplike gebruik deur Duitssprekende leerlinge van Namibie.

Full textThe thesis is composed of three parts: the first part deals with the precolonial period: 1842-1884. Invited by their british counterparts in the region, the german lutheran missionaries arrived in namibia in 1842 after a long stay in south africa, where they had firsthand experience with the africain continent. After 1884 - year marking the official beginning of colonization - the contradictions between ethical and religions convictions on the one hand, and the german political context on the other hand, take a more serious turn. The second part is devoted to that point. This situation will prevail up to world war i. Thus, as early as 1915, namibia comes under a different rule, without, as shown in the first part, enjoying a better status. What is remarkable is that the lutheran mission which did not have strong connections with the foreign power (south africa), as it had with the german crown - paramount leader of the church - collaborated still with that foreign power. This attitude sets, the lutheran church against the africans. It will, however, be forced to revise its position, thus winning back the credibility it had lost

Full textThe rangelands of arid and semi-arid areas represent precious but vulnerable resources. These must be managed by adapting the animal load to the capacity of the land, thus avoiding overgrazing and the degradations that it can induce. In this regard, reliable information on the forage resources is useful but difficult to obtain over large areas due to the great variability in time and space which characterises aridity. This work studies the potential of "wide field" (coarse resolution) satellite imagery to fill-in this gap. AVHRR and VEGETATION images used as main input for the Monteith vegetation production model provided biomass production estimations over a series of growing seasons for two study areas : Kenya and Namibia. The accuracy of the results is acceptable, and the method appears to be sufficiently simple and adaptable to be easily implemented an operational way with a wide range of satellite data. Three case studies illustrate the application of the type of information for rangeland resources management at various scales of space and time : in Namibia for quick and targeted government intervention in case of drought, for the management of a small protected area in Kenya, and to assist in the implementation of the land reform in Namibia

Full textThis thesis focuses on the problems linked to the establishment of a national currency and of an independent monetary policy for a small country. The political independence of a country is generally followed by the issue of a national currency. The setting up of a sound monetary system as well as the establishment of a suitable exchange rate regime is thus required. Central banks are normally the institutional bodies responsible for the management of monetary and exchange policies, though a recourse to other means institutional or otherwise is possible. Member states of the imf have a large choice of exchange regimes. They can either peg their currency to a single currency or to a basket of currencies or decide to let their exchange rate float according to the market forces or to other adjustment mechanisms. Moreover, the interest in an optimal currency area has been revived with the creation of a common european currency unit. The choice of an exchange rate regime depends on the structural and economic characteristics of a country as well as the origin of internal and external shocks faced by it. These topics will be analysed on a theoretical level and applied to the namibian case. Being a member of the rand monetary area and later of the common monetary area, namibia could have only a limited control over its monetary policies

Full textFor several years, rodents have been studied because of their various locomotor adaptations. This diversity is represented in the fossil record of the lower Miocene sites of Napak (Karamoja, Uganda) and Grillental, Elisabethfeld and Langental (Sperrgebiet, Namibia). This study focusses on several species: Paranomalurus bishopi, Paranomalurus walkeri, Nonanomalurus soniae and Renefossor songhorensis (Napak), Bathyergoides neotertiarius (Namibia) and Diamantomys luederitzi (represented in both areas). After updating their systematics, morphometric analyses allowed prediction of their locomotion via the skull, humerus, ulna and femur ensuring stabilisation or increase of mobility of the limbs: the arboreals privilege the mobility of the limbs, while the terrestrials and fossorials favour stabilization. Thus, these analyses highlight specialist species, such as those of the genus Paranomalurus predicted as gliders, N. soniae arboreal and B. neotertiarius fossorial. In contrast, D. luederitzi is considered to be a generalist. The locomotor variability indicates environmental heterogeneity in Uganda and Namibia, highlighted also by the δ13C and δ18O analyses carried out on the carbonates of their dental enamel. The analysis shows an open environment with a C3-plant dominated vegetation, with the presence of woodland patches (wooded savannah) in both areas. These isotopic ratios, when coupled with those of large mammals, indicate a more humid and/or cooler environment in the Ugandan and Namibian sites than occurs in these countries today, with the Namibian being less humid and/or having a higher temperature than the East African during this period

Full textMany of the poorest people on earth live in rural areas and are dependent on small-scale farming for their survival. The United Nations sees it as key to improve the productivity of these farms in order to reduce undernourishment in the world. Even though the literature has taken a big step forward on product development for developing countries during the past decade, there are still few studies on how to develop products for this specific group. This master thesis aims to state the success factors when developing products for people living in rural areas of Namibia.The empirical data is based on a product development project in northern Namibia as well as interviews with experts within the area. The product development project was carried out as a Minor Field Study during the summer of 2016 and the authors of this report spent two months in Namibia conducting both passive and active field studies. Since much of the existing literature claims to be general, this thesis starts off by analysing the existing literature to see how it applies in the Namibian context. The literature study together with the empirical findings are then formed into two categories of success factors when developing products for rural Namibia. The first category, project organisation, lists the success factors for how to set up a local product development project as a non-Namibian company or organisation. The second category, product design, lists the success factors linked to the actual product. By stating these success factors this thesis aims to be a support for small scale development projects carried out by a non-Namibian company or organisation targeting rural Namibia.Interesting findings are that the recommended production methods differ from what is recommended in previous literature. This report argues that the reason for this is the small scale perspective forced by Namibia’s low population density in contrast to India’s, from where most of the existing literature originates. This raise the need for further studies on small scale product development projects in rural areas to validate the findings of this report.

Full textOne can acknowledge that the democratisation process in Namibia started in 1989 and in Congo Brazzaville in 1990: for the first one it meant freeing itself from the South African rule as the country conquered its independence and established a democratic regime, for the second one, it meant the fall of a one-party rule and installing a multiparty system in a move to democracy. This upheaval phase was made possible through social forces mobilisation, especially trade unions. Our research consists in looking into the role played by these social forces in the process and in questioning their nature, particularly in order to determine whether they form some civil society. In both countries, churches are instrumental in the process. When democracy is introduced, associations flourish. As the first institutions are set, a struggle for power is engaged that soon proves to be critical for civil society, as even their position is challenged ; organisations are under deep stress. Some leaders of these social movements join or head political parties, in a high-risk context. Ethnic or tribal rivalries, as well as regionalism roots in the people's consciousness. If Namibia continues its path to democracy, despite the weakness of civil society and the wounds from the past, the Congo will first fall into civil war before searching for a way towards peace. Civil society, which has collapsed during the conflict, comes back to front stage through the Ecumenical Council of Churches but fails to consolidate democracy

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Geological remote sensing is a powerful tool for lithological discrimination, especially in arid regions with minimal vegetative cover to obscure rock exposures. Commercial multispectral imaging satellites provide a broad spectral range with which to target specific rock types. Landsat ETM+ (7), ASTER, and SPOT 5 multispectral images were acquired and digitally processed: band ratioing, principle components analysis, and maximum likelihood supervised classification. The sensors were evaluated on the ability to discriminate between sedimentary rocks in a structurally complex setting. The study focusses on the formations of the Naukluft Nappe Complex, Namibia. Previous work of the area had to be consulted in order to identify the main target rock types. Dolomite, limestone, quartzite, and shale were determined to make up the majority of rock types in the area. Landsat, ASTER, and SPOT 5 imagery were acquired and pre-processed. Each was subjected to transform techniques: band ratios and PCA. Band ratios were tailored to highlighted target rock types as well as a number of control ratios to ensure the integrity of important ratios. PCA components were inspected to find the most useful ones which were combined into FCCs. Transform results, expert knowledge, and a geological map were consulted to identify training and accuracy samples for the supervised classifications. All three classifications made use of the same set of training and accuracy samples to facilitate useful comparisons. Transform results were promising for Landsat and ASTER images, while SPOT 5 struggled. The limited spectral resolution of SPOT 5 limited its use for identifying target rock types, with the superior spatial resolution contributing very little. Landsat benefitted from good spectral resolution. This allowed for good performance with highlighting limestone and dolomite, while being less successful with shale. Quartzite was a real problem as the spectral resolution of Landsat could not cover this range as well. ASTER, having the highest spectral resolution, could distinguish between all four target rock types. Landsat and ASTER results suffered in areas where formations were relatively thin (smaller than sensor spatial resolution). The supervised classification results were similar to the transforms in that both Landsat and ASTER provided useful results, while SPOT 5 failed to yield definitive results. Accuracy assessment determined that ASTER performed the best at 98.72%. Landsat produced an accuracy of 93.29% while SPOT 5 was 80.17% accuracy. Landsat completely overestimated the amount of quartzite present, while all results classified significant proportions Quaternary sediments as shale. Limestone was well represented in even the poorest results, while dolomite usually struggled in areas where it was in close association with quartzite. Silica yields relatively strong responses in the TIR spectrum which could lead to misclassification of dolomite, which also has strong TIR signatures.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Geologiese afstandswaarneming is 'n kragtige tegniek vir litologiese diskriminasie, veral in droë streke met minimale plantbedekking om dagsome te verduister. Kommersiële multispektrale satelliete beelde bied 'n breë spektrale reeks waarmee spesifieke gesteentetipes geteiken kan word. Landsat ETM + (7), ASTER, en SPOT 5 multispektrale beelde was bekom en digitaal verwerk: bandverhoudings, hoofkomponente-ontleding, en maksimum waarskynlikheid klassifikasie. Die sensors is geëvalueer op hul vermoë om te onderskei tussen sedimentêre gesteentes in 'n struktureel komplekse omgewing. Die studie fokus op die formasies van die Naukluft Dekblad Kompleks, Namibië. Vorige werk van die area was geraadpleeg om die hoofgesteentetipes te identifiseer. Dit was bepaal dat dolomiet, kalksteen, kwartsiet, en skalie die oorgrote meerderheid van kliptipes in area opgemaak het. Landsat, ASTER, en SPOT 5 beelde is verkry en voorverwerk. Elke beeld was onderwerp aan transformasietegnieke: bandverhoudings en hoofkomponente-ontleding. Bandverhoudings is aangepas om teiken rotstipes uit te lig asook 'n aantal kontrole bandverhoudings om die integriteit van belangrike verhoudings te verseker. Hoofkomponente-ontleding komponente is ondersoek om die mees bruikbares te vind en dié was gekombineer in valse kleur samestellings. Transformasie resultate, deskundige kennis, en 'n geologiese kaart was geraadpleeg om opleidings- en verwysingsmonsters was verkry vanaf die beelde vir die klassifikasies. Al drie klassifikasies gebruik gemaak van dieselfde stel van die opleiding- en akkuraatheidsmonsters om sodoende betekenisvolle vergelykings te verseker. Transformasie resultate is belowend vir Landsat en ASTER beelde, terwyl SPOT 5 minder bruikbaar was. Die noue spektrale resolusie van SPOT 5 beperk die gebruik daarvan vir die identifisering van teiken gesteentetipes terwyl die hoë ruimtelike resolusie baie min bydra. Landsat het voordeel getrek uit goeie spektrale resolusie. Dit goeie resultate opgelwer met die klem op kalksteen en dolomiet, terwyl skalie aansienlik swakker resultate opgelewer het. Kwartsiet was 'n werklike probleem omdat die spektrale resolusie van Landsat nie breed genoeg was om hierdie kliptipe te onderskei nie. ASTER, met die hoogste spektrale resolusie, kon onderskei tussen al vier teiken rotstipes. Landsat en ASTER resultate was baie negatief beïnvloed in gebiede waar formasies relatief dun was (kleiner as sensor ruimtelike resolusie). Die klassifikasie resultate was soortgelyk aan die transformasies in dat beide Landsat en ASTER nuttige resultate opgelewer het, terwyl SPOT 5 misluk het. Akkuraatheids assessering het bepaal dat ASTER die beste gevaar het met 98,72%. Landsat het 'n akkuraatheid van 93,29% opgelewer, terwyl SPOT 5 80,17% akkuraat was. Landsat het die hoeveelheid kwartsiet heeltemal oorskat, terwyl al die resultate groot hoeveelhede Kwaternêre sedimente as skalie geklassifiseer het. Kalksteen is goed verteenwoordig in tot die armste resultate, terwyl resultate gewoonlik afgeneem het waar dolomiet in noue verband met kwartsiet was. Dit is moontlik asgevolg van silika se relatiewe sterk reaksies in die termiese infra-rooi spektrum wat kan lei tot die foutiewe klassifisering met dolomiet (wat ook sterk reageer in die TIR spektrum).

Full textMineral dust is considered to be an important supplier of micronutrient for the Southern Ocean where the primary production is limited by insufficient supply of micronutrients. Patagonia (South America) and Namibia (Southern Africa) are two main dust sources for the South Atlantic section of the Southern Ocean. Emission inventories of bioavailable micronutrients from these two regions regulate the final biological impact on marine ecosystem in the South Atlantic Ocean. This thesis is mainly focused on the investigation of 1) the atmospheric dust concentration and its temporal pattern in Patagonia, 2) the spatial heterogeneity of dust elemental composition in Patagonia and Namibia, and 3) the pH dependence of elemental solubility in Patagonian and Namibian dust. These three aspects are the key issues to model the emission inventories of bioavailable micronutrients from dust sources. Dust concentration measurements were conducted in Patagonia-Atlantic Coast and revealed a seasonal pattern of dust concentration with lower dust level in winter than the other three seasons. Meteorological records suggest that this seasonal pattern is associated with the variation of soil moisture in source areas rather than the recurrently high wind speed. Dust samples were generated from Patagonian and Namibian soils to investigate the elemental composition and the elemental solubility of source dust. Dust elemental composition differs to different degrees from their parents soils, particularly in Namibia due to the dilution effect of quartz in soil. Spatial variability of dust elemental composition was observed at both continental scale and regional scale in Patagonia and Namibia. Variations in Ca and Mg content are the main reasons for the spatial heterogeneity of dust elemental composition. Elemental solubility of Patagonian and Namibian dust increased with acidity of leaching solution. More soluble elements namely Ca, K, Mg, Mn, Sr and Ba showed much higher solubility in calcium-rich dust due to the presence of carbonate. The dust concentration record obtained in Patagonia may help to better quantify the dust emission in subantarctic region and to constrain dust models. Database of dust elemental composition and elemental solubility in Patagonia and Namibia also contributes to the evaluation of emission inventories of soluble elements from dust sources to the Southern Ocean

Full textThe chronology of continental crust formation is debated but most models converge on the fact that much of the continental crust on the surface of the Earth is present since the Proterozoic (2.5 - 0, 54 Ga) and has essentially undergoes reworking during orogenesises. Uranium which is an incompatible element is a tracer of this crustal evolution, since its initial fractionation by partial melting of the mantle to its reworking in higher crustal levels. Neoproterozoic Pan-African (0.5 ± 0.1 Ga) orogenic belt of the Damara in Namibia is a good geological target to test the relationship between crustal growth and evolution and metallogeny of uranium. It was formed after the collision of the Archean cratons of Congo and Kalahari (subducting plate). This thesis shows that the evolution of the continental crust during the Neoproterozoic Damara Orogen is by reworking of Archaean to Neoproterozoic crustal domains and partial melting of rocks is the predominant mechanism for primary uranium mineralization associated with crystallization of intrusive granites derived from anatexis of paleo- to mesoproterozoic basement fragments. The intrusive granites issued from partial melting of sediments in the upper crustal levels are low or not favorable to high concentrations of uranium because of 1) the low preconcentration of their protoliths and 2) their relatively limited migration. The mineralized intrusive granites correspond to late- to post-collision injections (ca. 520-480 Ma in the central area) and are related to thermal relaxation phases and gravitational collapse subsequent to thickening in crustal orogen in a context of plates convergence

Full textSalt pans are a characteristic feature of many dry deserts. The microbial communities inhabiting salt pans are thought to be particularly complex and are generally dominated by halophilic microorganisms. Although saline pools are frequently found within the hyper-arid Namib Desert, the microbial communities of these saline sites have been scarcely investigated. The aim of the present study was to characterise the archaeal, bacterial and cyanobacterial diversity inhabiting these extreme saline pools using three culture independent molecular techniques (DGGE, T-RFLP and 16S rRNA clone libraries). The physiochemical results, mainly the conductivity readings recorded from the sampling sites, indicated that the Gobabeb (103.0mS/cm) region was less saline than the two Swakopmund [(Sps01) (150.0mS/cm) and Sps02 (180.0mS/cm)] sites. Results obtained from DGGE and T-RFLP data were in agreement for both bacterial and cyanobacterial analysis indicating that the Gobabeb site was more diverse than the two Swakopmund sites (Sps01 and Sps02). In comparison, the archaeal community profiles for DGGE and T-RFLP analysis were in agreement illustrating that the archaeal community were more abundant in the two extreme Swakopmund saline sites. Phylogenetic data obtained from 16S rRNA gene clone libraries identified halophilic phylotypes (Rhodothermaceae, Idiomarinaceae Puniceicoccaceae and Cyanobacteria/Chloroplast, Family VII) normally associated with salt rich sites. In addition, a large number of unclassified taxa were identified. To conclude, the study highlighted the presence of a rich microbial diversity present within the salt pans of the Namib Desert and establishes a platform for future investigations.
