About Ms Mulalo Rabumbulu

Mulalo does physical geography research. She is particularly interested in quaternary geomorphology and applied environmental geomorphology in Southern Africa. In applied environmental geomorphology, her research focuses on sustainable land management and the appropriate application of indigenous knowledge to address current environmental issues. With a specific focus on understanding how Indigenous knowledge might be complemented and incorporated into scientific knowledge.
