Johanna Alida Coetzee (1921 - 2007) (also known as Joey Coetzee) was a researcher in the field of Palynology at the University of the Free State and a pioneer in the analysis of fossil pollen.[2] Her DSc thesis received worldwide recognition and praise from the eminent glacial geologist Richard Foster Flint and helped recognise the significance of temperature changes in controlling shifts in global and local vegetation zones.[1]
