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, ...
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 ...
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
sensed Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) active fire occurrence data. In
order to investigate the spatial pattern ...
Scenarios analysis using water-sensitive urban design principles: A case study of the Cape Flats Aquifer in South Africa
(Springer, 2020)
A feasibility assessment was undertaken on the application ofwater-sensitive urban design (WSUD) for the Cape Flats Aquifer in
Cape Town, South Africa, at the local scale. The study contributes towards the planning of ...
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 ...

Hierarchical Bayesian geostatistics for C stock prediction in disturbed plantation forest in Zimbabwe
(Ecological Informatics, 2022)
We develop and present a novel Bayesian hierarchical geostatistical model for the prediction of plantation forest carbon stock (C stock) in the eastern highlands of Zimbabwe using multispectral Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 ...
