Continuous Late Pleistocene Paleoclimate Record from the Southwest African Margin: A Multi-Proxy Approach
Late Pleistocene sediments recovered from ODP Leg 175, Site 1085 are used to generate a high-resolution (500 yr) record of continental climate change in Southern Africa. The location of Site 1085, the SW African continental slope, provides a continuous hemipelagic section with a significant terrigenous component. Terrigenous sediments are transported via fluvial and/or eolian transport mechanisms with MIS 1 being dominated by eolian transport. Analyses, including grain-size, color reflectance, biogenic sediment geochemistry (%CaCO3, %TOC, and C/N), bulk sediment geochemistry, and clay mineralogy, are used to identify continental climate conditions in southern Africa. Analyses indicate glacial/interglacial variation. Median grain-size peaks are associated with changes in transport. Clay mineralogy indicates the presence of kaolinite, smectite, and illite in varying percentages. Smectite and illite dominate the clay mineral assemblages except during MIS 2. Maximum kaolinite was found during MIS 2 and is associated with poleward transport by the Angola Counter Current
Human Rights in Everyday Life: Partnering Human Rights and Service-Learning/Engaged Scholarship in Local Communities
This paper makes the case for integrating human rights and service-learning in the United States. After 50 years of invisibility in the U.S., the language and principles of human rights now form the basis for a national movement for addressing problems at the structural level, and as such, are deeply aligned with the goals and visions of the “critical service-learning” and “engaged scholarship” models. As U.S. human rights activities are based mainly at state, municipal and grassroots levels, they provide service-learning students with opportunities to directly engage the laws, principles and strategies of human rights in their own local communities. In turn, students’ enhanced knowledge of human rights principles and strategies for action can enhance linkages between community partners and global human rights networks. Ultimately, such partnerships transform both students’ knowledge and engagement of human rights and the engaged scholarship experience itself.Key words: human rights, service-learning, engaged scholarship
