Pansharpened landsat 8 thermal-infrared data for improved land surface temperature characterization in a heterogeneous urban landscape
(Elsevier, 2022)
Challenges associated with adolescents are prevalent in South African societies. During the adolescence stage, children may become involved in deviant behaviour. Although a significant number of studies have focused on the ...
Giants and titans: First records of the invasive acorn barnacles Megabalanus tintinnabulum (Linnaeus, 1758) and Megabalanus coccopoma (Darwin, 1854) on intertidal rocky shores of South Africa
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre (REABIC), 2022)
During intertidal rocky shore surveys on the east coast of South Africa in 2018, the
non-indigenous giant purple barnacle Megabalanus tintinnabulum (Linnaeus, 1758),
a well-known fouling and globally-invasive species, ...
Marine seismic surveys for hydrocarbon exploration: What’s at stake?

Happy Feet in a Hostile World? The Future of Penguins Depends on Proactive Management of Current and Expected Threats
(2019)
Penguins face a wide range of threats. Most observed population changes have
been negative and have happened over the last 60 years. Today, populations of 11
penguin species are decreasing. Here we present a review that ...
Seed germination and early seedling growth responses to drought stress in annual Medicago L. And Trifolium L. Forages
(MDPI, 2022)
Climate change in the Mediterranean-like regions of South Africa has resulted in increased
rainfall variability, a delayed start to the wet winter season, and increased occurrences of out-ofseason summer rainfall events. ...
Spatiotemporal green water dynamics and their responses to variations of climatic and underlying surface factors: A case study in the Sanjiang Plain, China
(Elsevier, 2023)
The Sanjiang Plain (SJP), located at the confluence reaches of the Heilong, Songhua, and Wusuli Rivers in Northeast China. his study aimed to quantify the effects of varying climate and land-use/land-cover (LULC) dynamics ...
Remotely sensed c3 and c4 grass species aboveground biomass variability in response to seasonal climate and topography
(Wiley Online Library, 2019)
Seasonal climate and topography influence C3 and C4 grass species aboveground biomass (AGB). Climate change further threatens these grasses AGB, thereby compromising their ability to provide ecosystem goods and services. ...

Hydrological modelling and climate adaptation under changing climate: A review with a focus in sub-Saharan Africa
(MDPI, 2022)
Empirical evidence continues to show that climate change remains a threat to the stability
of the hydrologic system. As the climate system interacts with the hydrologic cycle, one significant
repercussion of global warming ...
Spatial clustering of vegetation fire intensity using modis satellite data
(MDPI, 2022)
This work analyses the spatial clustering of fire intensity in Zimbabwe, using remotely
