Magmatic-petrogenetic & structural relationships of the peninsula granite of the Cape Granite Suite (CGS) with the Malmesbury group, sea point contact, Saldania belt, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The Sea Point contact, Cape Town, South Africa, exposes the contact between the
Neoproterozoic Malmesbury Group metasedimentary rocks of the Pan-African Saldania belt
and the intrusive S-type Peninsula Granite of the ...
Foraminiferal biostratigraphy and depositional environment of the early cretaceous drilled succession in Durban basin, east coast, South Africa
(South African Journal of Higher Education, 2020)
Durban Basin located on the eastern coast of South Africa has been a focus of interest for Petroleum Exploration for the last few decades. Only four exploratory wells have been drilled in this offshore basin without success. ...
Assessing different coal combustion residue backfill scenarios in opencast coal mines, Mpumalanga, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Coal-fired power stations produce large volumes of coal combustion residues (CCRs), which
are disposed of in hold ponds or landfill sites. These ash storage facilities are limited in space
and are approaching the end of ...

Durban Basin located on the eastern coast of South Africa has been a focus of interest for Petroleum Exploration for the last few decades. Only four exploratory wells have been drilled in this offshore basin without success. ...
Measurement and modelling of catchment erosion dynamics under different land cover types, Jonkershoek Catchment, Western Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Several attempts have been made to assess the impact of post-fire soil erosion; however, erosion occurs as a result of the complex interplay between many factors, such as climate, land cover, soil and topography, making ...
Effects of clay minerals on the petrophysical properties of sandstone reservoirs from the Offshore Pletmos Basin, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
With the latest advancements in the Pletmos Basin it is imperative to understand and study how sandstone reservoirs are affected by clay minerals. Clay minerals are an influential component in sandstone reservoirs worldwide ...
The petrogenesis of the intermediate to mafic rocks of the yzerfontein subsuite, and their relationship to-, and paragenesis of hydrothermal veining, cape granite suite, saldania belt, south africa
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The 535 Ma post-orogenic Yzerfontein Pluton is a composite pluton that comprises rocks of mafic, intermediate and felsic compositions belonging to the shoshonitic series. The Yzerfontein Pluton forms part of the Cape Granite ...
Spatial modelling of invasive species distribution in water-limited environments using remotely sensed data and climatic scenarios in the Heuningnes catchment, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The occurrence and spread of Invasive Alien Plants (IAPs) is a threat to global water resources and natural ecosystems due to high water use rates. With the current climate change projections and their ability to survive ...
Investigating the role of groundwater - surface water connectivity in supporting non-perennial river systems, Sandveld, Western Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Non-perennial rivers are characterised by a discontinuous and variable hydrological flow regime which may retreat to form isolated pools along the watercourse during prolonged dry periods. The resulting spatio-temporal ...
Formation evaluation and assessment of flow units of some selected wells in the Bredasdorp basin, offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Petroleum geologists have long recognized the need to apply secondary and tertiary
hydrocarbon recovery techniques for an accurate understanding of the internal architecture of
a reservoir. The approach to effective ...
