Barberton Geology UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND JOHANNESBURG A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE GEOLOGY RELATING TO THE BARBERTON MOUNTAIN LAND AND SURROUNDING GRANITIC TERRANE, SOUTH AFRICA 2002-2019 Compiled by C. R. ANHAEUSSER (Economic Geology Research Institute, School of Geosciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Private Bag 3, P.O. WITS 2050, Johannesburg, South Africa) ECONOMIC GEOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE INFORMATION CIRCULAR October 2019 1 A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE GEOLOGY RELATING TO THE BARBERTON MOUNTAIN LAND AND SURROUNDING GRANITIC TERRANE, SOUTH AFRICA 2002-2019 This compilation represents the 6th of a series of bibliographies dealing with a variety of aspects relating to the geology of the Barberton Greenstone Belt and surrounding granite-gneiss terrane in the eastern part of Mpumalanga Province, South Africa and the adjacent Kingdom of eSwatini (previously known as Swaziland). The superb Archaean geology found in this region continues to attract attention from a wide range of South African and foreign Earth Scientists and hence it has become necessary to monitor the research and the numerous publications that still emanate from the region. This bibliography attempts to record most reference works published between December 2002 and September 2019. The first bibliography, compiled by the author in 1976, appeared as Information Circular No. 102 of the Economic Geology Research Unit, University of the Witwatersrand and contains a comprehensive list of reference pertaining to the geology, mineral deposits and mining in the Barberton region covering the period 1875 to June 1976. The second bibliography, compiled by the author in 1986, appeared as Information Circular No. 184 and covers the period 1976 to August 1986. The third bibliography, compiled in 1992, appeared as Information Circular No. 252 and covers the period September 1986 to June 1992. The fourth compilation appeared in December 1996 as Information Circular No. 306 and covered the period 1992-1996. The fifth compilation, which appeared in December 2002 as Information Circular No. 368, covers the period 1996-2002. This, the sixth compilation, covers the period from December 2002 to October 2019. As has been outlined previously the diverse nature of the earth science research that continues unabated in the Barberton-Swaziland region makes it difficult to keep abreast of all the findings reported at international and local conferences, workshops and field schools. It is also not easy to monitor all the research findings being published in a wide spectrum of books, journals, abstract volumes, and field guides. For this reason the bibliography cannot be regarded as fully comprehensive. Some references to works that appeared prior to 2002, and previously overlooked, have been included in the present compilation. While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy of the entries appearing herein, errors and omissions are inevitable, and advice of such would be welcomed by the compiler. The Economic Geology Research Institute (EGRI) no longer publishes Information Circulars, the last circular being No. 389 which appeared in 2005. Instead, documents emanating from EGRI are posted on the Research Institutes website from where all circulars mentioned above are also freely available at the following address: https://www.wits.ac.za/geosciences/research/economic- geology-research-institute/ _____________oOo_____________ 2 LIST OF PUBLICATIONS ARRANGED ALPHABETICALLY ACCORDING TO AUTHOR FOR THE PERIOD 2002-2019 A ABRAHAM, K., HOFMANN, A., FOLEY, S., CARDINAL, D., HARRIS, C., BARTH, M. and ANDRÉ, L., (2011).

June 2017 School of Animal, Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, Private Bag 3, WITS 2050 1 Declaration I declare that this research report is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for the Degree of Master of Science (by Coursework and research report) at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination at any other University. (Michelle Rumbidzai Mahove) 5th day of June 2017 in Braamfontein, Johannesburg 2 Abstract The threats imposed on biodiversity by anthropogenic factors and climate change could cause major biodiversity loss that will have major detrimental effects on the livelihoods of humans and ecosystems. With time and resource constraints plaguing the conservation field it is of utmost importance that biodiversity assessments are prioritised and conducted effectively. Species richness and endemism have been used in biodiversity assessments for many years now but due to their shortcomings, phylogenetic metrics were developed. These phylogenetic metrics offer an advantage in that they include the evolutionary history and relatedness of taxa in the analysis of biodiversity, consequently providing in-depth information on the structure of a taxa and how it relates to other taxa. Phylogenetic metrics also allow the differentiation between areas of neo- and palaeo- endemism, an important facet in the conservation field.
