An integrated approach to understanding the geological controls on gas escape and migration pathways in offshore northern Orange Basin, South Africa.
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
The use of an integrated approach in science has gained more prominence recently
because it is thorough and provides a dynamic perspective from which scientific
problems can be investigated and solutions proffered. Here, ...
The palaeo environment and depositional facies of the drift section of Block 3A/4A in the Orange Basin, West Coast Offshore South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
The Orange Basin is underexplored and has shown proven hydrocarbon reserves with the potential for further discoveries. This study is aimed at describing the depositional facies and palaeoenvironment of the drift section ...
An integrated study of the early cretaceous (Valanginian) reservoir from the Gamtoos Basin, offshore South Africa with special reference to seismic facies, formation evaluation and static reservoir modeling
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Integrated approaches in the study of petroleum exploration are increasingly becoming
significant in recent times and have yielded much better result as oil exploration is a
combination of different related topics. The ...
An assessment of the river flow contributions of tributaries and the effects of floodplain wetlands on spatio-temporal variations of river flows in the Nuwejaars river catchment, Cape Agulhas
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Improved knowledge is required on the quantity and source of water resources, particularly evident during periods of drought currently being faced in South Africa. There is inadequate knowledge with regards to the flood ...
The use of remote sensing data to monitor pools along non-perennial rivers in the Western Cape, South Africa.
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The lack of monitoring of non-perennial rivers is a major problem for water resources
management, despite their significance in satisfying agricultural, economic and recreational
needs. Pools in non-perennial rivers are ...
Application Of environmental tracer methods to conceptualize groundwater recharge, West Coast, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Drought and climate change will have adverse consequence for freshwater resources in water stressed South Africa. Diminishing surface water reserves increases the demand to exploit groundwater resources. The drought ...
Hydrological Characterisation of Wetlands: Understanding wetlands-catchment linkages
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
This study explores the hydrological processes of selected wetlands in four different catchments in South Africa (the Nuwejaars River in the Western Cape which has the Elandsdrift-Wiesdrift wetland; the Mohlapetsi river ...
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, ...
The geotectonic evolution of a portion of the Garies terrane, Kliprand, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The Kliprand dome is a poorly investigated structure located in the central part of the high grade
Garies Terrane of the western Namaqua Sector (NS) of the Namaqua-Natal Metamorphic Province
(NNMP). This structure is ...
Investigating associations between fluvial style and the characteristics and distribution of geomorphic units in non-perennial rivers
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Although non-perennial rivers are the most dominant river type in arid and semi-arid areas, far outnumbering perennial rivers, recent reviews have shown that the knowledge base supporting non-perennial river research is ...
