Mapping Break-Back Thrust Sequence Developments of the Orange Basin (offshore South Africa)
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)In the present study thrust sequence developments in the sediments below the deep-waters of the Orange Basin are mapped. Four seismic sections are interpreted from four different locations of the study area. The interpreted ... -
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 ... -
Modelling the behaviour and fate of priority pesticides in South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)The use of pesticides poses a serious threat to the limited water resources of South Africa. The amounts which are not taken up by crop plants, are often washed away by runoff into surface waters, or leached through the ... -
Multispectral remote sensing of vegetation responses to groundwater variability in the greater floristic region of the Western Cape, South Africa
(University of Western Cape, 2021)Groundwater dependent vegetation (GDV) communities are increasingly threatened by the transformation of the natural environment to different land use/land cover, over-exploitation of groundwater resources and the proliferation ... -
A national survey of mercury levels in South Africa's water management areas
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)This study forms part of a broader project co-funded by the Water Research Commission (WRC), and CSIR Parliamentary Grant (PG) and Strategic Research Panel (SRP) research grants, aimed at surveying selected water resources ... -
Novel poly(propylene thiophenoimine)-co poly(ethylenedioxythiophene) composites of naphthalene diimide for applications in organic photovoltaic cells
(2013)Solar energy generation arises as a result of direct conversion of sunlight into electricity a by solar cell; which is mainly made up of a semiconducting material incorporated into a system. It is emerging as one of the ... -
Numerical analysis of finite strain in the warm zand structure
(University of the Western Cape, 2014)This research project had two different parts: The first was about the mapping of a section of the Warm Zand Structure and the collection of strain data. The second part focused on the analysis of the finite strain and ... -
Perceptions of water scarcity: the case of Genadendal and outstations
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)The water resources management regime has shifted from one focusing almost exclusively on augmenting supply to one where ensuring access, equity and sustainability are an integral part of the process. A growing demand for ... -

(University of the Western Cape, 2013)Petrophysical evaluation of four wells within Cretaceous gas-bearing sandstone reservoirs in blocks 4 and 5 Orange Basin, South Africa. Thierry Kamgang The present research work evaluates the petrophysical characteristics ... -
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 ... -
Petrographic characterization of sandstones in borehole E-BA1, Block 9, Bredasdorp Basin, Off-Shore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)The reservoir quality (RQ) of well E-BA1 was characterized using thin sections and core samples in a petrographic study. Well E-BA1 is situated in the Bredasdorp Basin, which forms part of the Outeniqua Basin situated in ... -
The petrophysical analysis and evaluation of hydrocarbon potential of sandstone units in the Bredasdorp Central Basin
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)This research was aimed at employing the broad use of petrophysical analysis and reservoir modelling techniques to explore the petroleum resources in the sandstone units of deep marine play in the Bredasdorp Basin. -
