Static reservoir modeling using stochastic method: A case study of the cretaceous sequence of Gamtoos Basin, Ofshore, South Africa
(Springer, 2021)
Gamtoos Basin is an echelon sub-basin under the Outeniqua ofshore Basin of South Africa. It is a complex rift-type basin
with both onshore and ofshore components and consists of relatively simple half-grabens bounded by ...
A new modified spatial approach for monitoring non-perennial river water availability using remote sensing in the Tankwa Karoo, Western Cape, South Africa
(AJOL, 2021)
Non-perennial rivers (N-PRs) make up two thirds of all rivers in South Africa, yet many are ungauged.
Traditionally, it has been assumed that when a flow is recorded, there is water throughout that river. These
assumptions ...
Green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles using some selected medicinal plants from Southern Africa and their biological applications
(MPDI, 2021)
The application of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs), especially that of silver, gold, cobalt, and
