Back-barrier evolution and along-strike variations in infilling of the Kosi Bay lake system, South Africa

Antecedent geological control on transgressive delta and shoreline preservation: Examples from the SE African shelf

“…However, at the shelf edge, the -95 m shoreline forms a linear seaward aeolianite barrier, but with a subdued and lower elevation zone to landward in which the low-lying topography is segmented by cuspate forms. These features are akin to the segmenting cuspate spits of the coastal waterbodies of the SE African coastal plain (Wright et al, 2000;Green et al, 2022;Dladla et al, 2022). Isolated small channels enter the system.…”
