A model is tested basing on radiocarbon dated field evidence from various river systems. Conclusions on palaeoclimatic periods humid as today and more humid than at present within the Namib as well as more arid than at present in the hinterland
at present of the last-mentioned periods happened > 34 ka BP, > 16 ka BP, and 5-1 ka BP within the Namib itself.
This paper reports a study of surface change on a large, complex linear dune in the Namib Desert. The dune surface responds to a markedly seasonal wind regime. Despite relatively high levels of activity, especially at the dune crest
