An assessment of river and wetland morphology dynamics using geospatial techniques
Mbambi, Yamkela (University of the Western Cape, 2023)Land surface modification has intensified in recent years, and it continues to be an ongoing process. This raises serious concerns about changes in land use and land cover (LULC) since some of these changes have led to ... -
Developing a remotely-sensed framework for fire monitoring in the Western Cape, South Africa
Graham, Earl Vincent (University of Western Cape, 2021)For a long time, fire dynamics has been misunderstood and viewed as either a destructive force or an ecological necessity. The Western Cape Province in South Africa experiences the frequent occurrence of fires, due to the ... -
Multispectral remote sensing of the impacts of drought and climate variability on water resources in semi-arid regions of the Western Cape, South Africa
Bhaga, Trisha (University of Western Cape, 2021)The occurrence of droughts is a threat to global water resources and natural ecosystems, with the impact being more profound in semi-arid environments. The frequency of droughts is likely to increase because of climate ... -
Remote sensing drought impacts on wetland vegetation productivity at the Soetendalsvlei in the Heuningnes Catchment, South Africa
Ndlala, Noluthando (University of Western Cape, 2021)This work aimed at assessing the response of wetland vegetation productivity to the 2014-2017 climate-induced drought at the Soetendalsvlei wetland system in the Western Cape province of South Africa. To achieve this ... -
The use of remote sensing data for assessing water quality in wetlands within the Limpopo River Basin
Dzurume, Tatenda (University of the Western Cape, 2021)Wetlands are unique ecosystems that are acknowledged among the world’s most productive and valuable ecosystems. They are recognized as being essential to sustainable development and human welfare due to their unique ... -
Use of remotely sensed data and spatial modelling techniques to assess impacts of different land management practices on surface water quality
Cloete, Danielle (University of the Western Cape, 2023)The study uses remote sensing and statistical techniques in assessing land use land cover impacts on surface water quality in the Heuningnes Catchment, Cape Agulhas, South Africa. Firstly, a review of the advancements made ...
