About Donalson Majahonke Malambe

Project title:
Timing and evolution of the Lefika la Noka tufa site, Cradle of Humankind, South Africa

Supervisor:
Dr T.V. Makhubela

Research interests:
The application of cosmogenic radionuclides (26Al/10Be) in geology & geomorphology.

• Geochronology: The use of cosmogenic nuclide (26Al & 10Be) burial dating of quartz-bearing sediments to constrain the burial ages of geologic materials
• Landscape evolution: Integrating data on cosmogenic nuclides and petrographic analysis to refine our understanding of landscape evolution
• Paleoclimate reconstruction: Integrating data on cosmogenic nuclide concentrations with other paleoclimate proxies to refine our understanding of Earth’s climate history
• Geochemistry and mineralogy
