GIS-based modelling of climate variability impacts on groundwater quality: Cape Flats aquifer, Cape Town, South Africa
(Elsevier, 2021)
The need to improve groundwater security remains critical, especially in urban areas where demand for groundwater as an alternative source of water supply is increasing following unprecedented population growth. Climate ...
Modeling the geographic spread and proliferation of invasive alien plants (IAPs) into new ecosystems using multi-source data and multiple predictive models in the Heuningnes catchment, South Africa
(Taylor and Francis, 2021)
The geographic spread and proliferation of Invasive Alien Plants (IAPs) into new ecosystems
requires accurate, constant, and frequent monitoring particularly under the changing climate to
ensure the integrity and resilience ...
Effect of landscape pattern and spatial configuration of vegetation patches on urban warming and cooling in Harare metropolitan city, Zimbabwe
(Bellweather Publishing, 2021)
The spatial configuration of vegetation patches in the landscape has implications for the provision of ecosystem services, human adaptation to climate change, enhancement, or mitigation of urban heat island. Until recently, ...
Sandstone reservoir zonation of the north-western Bredasdorp Basin South Africa using core data
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study delineates sandstone reservoir flow zones in the north-western Bredasdorp Basin, offshore South
Africa, using conventional core porosity and permeability data. The workflow begins by integrating sedimen-
tology ...
Progress in the remote sensing of groundwater-dependent ecosystems in semi-arid environments
(Elsevier, 2021)
Remote sensing of groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) has increased substantially in recent years. Of
significant prominence, is the delineation and mapping of groundwater-dependent vegetation (GDV), species
diversity, ...
Progress in remote sensing of grass senescence: A review on the challenges and opportunities
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021)
Grass senescence estimation in rangeland is particularly
important for monitoring the conditions of forage quality
and quantity. During senescence, grasses lose their nutrients from
the leaves to the root and thereby ...
