Sedimentary evolution of lagoons along the Namibian coast reveals fluctuation in Holocene biogeographic faunal provinces, upwelling intensity and sea level

Sedimentary evolution of lagoons along the Namibian coast reveals fluctuation in Holocene biogeographic faunal provinces, upwelling intensity and sea level

Within the wave-dominated and high-energy depositional environment of the hyper-arid Namibian coast, lagoons and related saltpans represent one of the few regional settings in which sediments originating from both marine and terrestrial sources can accumulate under sheltered conditions.
