A comparison of Remotely-Sensed Precipitation Estimates with observed data from rain Gauges in the Western Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
Precipitation data are critical for management of water resources. Precipitation can be
measured through ground measurement by means of rain gauges and by remote sensing
techniques. Rain gauges often give accurate measurements, ...
An assessment of water use by Acacia longifolia trees occurring within the hillslopes and riparian zone of the Heuningnes Catchment, Western Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The increasing expansion of Acacia longifolia trees along the riparian zones in South Africa
demands an urgent intervention as the species is listed in the National Environmental
Management: Biodiversity Act (2004). This ...
Geochemical and Petrographic Characterization of the Transition Boundary between the MG2 package to MG3 package at Dwarsrivier Chrome Mine, Bushveld Complex, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
This study area is situated within the Eastern Bushveld complex at Dwarsrivier chrome mine, which is approximately 30 km from Steelpoort and 60km from Lydenburg in the Mpumalanga province. The primary aim of the project ...
Reservoir Characterization of well A-F1, Block 1, Orange Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The Orange basin is relatively underexplored with 1 well per every 4000km2 with only the
Ububhesi gas field discovery. Block 1 is largely underexplored with only 3 wells drilled in the
entire block and only well A?F1 inside ...
The effects of minerals on reservoir properties in block 3A and 2C, within the orange basin, South Africa.
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The reservoir quality of the Orange Basin, offshore South Africa is known to be immensely impaired by the presence of authigenic minerals. The collective effects of burial, bioturbation, compaction and chemical reactions ...
Geology, geochemistry and Sr-Nd isotope analysis of the Vredenburg Batholith and Cape Columbine Granites Paternoster/Vredenburg, South Africa: Implications on their petrogenesis, tectonic setting, and sources.
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The late- to post-collisional Cape Granite Suite (CGS) located in the southwest of South Africa is
comprised of S-, I-, and A-type granites, mafic intrusives, and volcanic flows. The CGS is interpreted
to have formed ...
Geology, geochemistry and Sr-Nd isotope analysis of the Vredenburg batholith and Cape Columbine granites
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)
The late− to post−collisional Cape Granite Suite (CGS) located in the southwest of South Africa is
comprised of S−, I−, and A−type granites, mafic intrusives, and volcanic flows. The CGS is interpreted
