Updates and advances to the FAO56 crop water requirements method
(Elsevier, 2021)
This study reviews the abundant research on FAO56 crop coefficients, published following introduction ofthe FAO56 paper in 1998. The primary goal was to evaluate, update, and consolidate the mid-season andend-season single ...
Assessing the adverse effects of a mixture of AMD and sewage effluent on a sub-tropical dam situated in a nature conservation area using a modified pollution index
(Springer Nature, 2021)
Currently water resources in nature conservation areas are under severe pressure due to external drivers of anthropogenic pollution. There is a lack of monitoring tools to determine water quality status of dams situated ...
Hydrocarbon generation and migration from Barremian – Aptian source rocks, Northern Orange Basin, offshore Western South Africa: A 3d numerical modelling study
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2021)
A 3D numerical modelling workflow was applied to the Barremian—Aptian source rock interval in a shelfal to lower slope area of the northern Orange Basin, offshore western South Africa. The main objective was to investigate ...
Dating detrital zircon from the gold-bearing Ventersdorp contact reef in the Ventersdorp supergroup of South Africa
(Elsevier, 2021)
The Ventersdorp Contact Reef (VCR) at the base of the >4.5 km-thick volcanosedimentary Ventersdorp Supergroup unconformably overlies the Witwatersrand Supergroup and is the second youngest mineable reef in the Witwatersrand ...
Modelling water utilization patterns in apple orchards with varying canopy sizes and different growth stages in semi-arid environments
(Elsevier, 2021)
Accurate estimates of orchard evapotranspiration (ET) and its components are important for precise irrigation scheduling, irrigation system designs, and optimal on-farm water allocation particularly in water-limited ...
Integration of hydrogeophysical and geological investigations in enhancing groundwater potential assessment in Houtriver gneiss crystalline basement formation of South Africa
(Elsevier, 2021)
Groundwater exploration in crystalline basement aquifers such as the Houtriver gneiss formation in the Limpopo province of South Africa is often described as complex. This is because groundwater availability in such aquifers ...
Provenance of metasedimentary rocks of the western Dom Feliciano Belt in Uruguay: Insights from U–Pb detrital zircon geochronology, Hf and Nd model ages, and geochemical data
(Elsevier, 2021)
New isotopic and geochemical data for the Paleo- Meso- and Neoproterozoic metasedimentary cover of the southern Dom Feliciano Belt (Brasiliano/Pan-African) are presented and evaluated combined with published information. ...
Permian to cretaceous granites and felsic volcanics from SW Vietnam and S Cambodia: Implications for tectonic development of Indochina
(Asian Earth Sciences, 2021)
Zircon ages and geochemistry are presented for igneous rocks from SW Vietnam and S Cambodia. Four main age groupings occur: Cretaceous (107–75 Ma), Early Jurassic (195 Ma), Late Triassic (230–222 Ma), and Permian (294–265 ...
Provenance and tectonic setting of the Paleozoic Tamatán Group, NE Mexico: Implications for the closure of the Rheic Ocean
(2021)
The Huizachal–Peregrina Anticlinorium in northeastern Mexico comprises a wide variety of Precambrian
and Paleozoic basement units. In this work, Silurian-to-Permian unmetamorphosed siliciclastic successions (i.e., Cañón ...
Fracture development and fractal characteristics of overburden rock under repeated mining
(Spinger, 2021)
The purpose of this paper is to provide scientific basis for the stability evaluation of overburden rock of repeated mining goaf under the expressway. The objectives of the present study are to reveal the development of ...
