;
(Geo-Marine Letters, 2021-04-16)
The study area is located on the inner Agulhas Bank around Plettenberg Bay, southern Cape Province, South Africa (Fig. 1). The Agulhas Bank is a transitional environment between the cold-temperate Benguela Current regime ... -
Circulation pattern controls of wet days and dry days in Free State, South Africa
(Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics, 2021-07-24)
Atmospheric circulation is a vital process in the transport of heat, moisture, and pollutants around the globe. The variability of rainfall depends to some extent on the atmospheric circulation. This paper investigates ... -
Do image resolution and classifier choice impact island biogeographical parameters of terrestrial islands?
; ; ; (Transactions in GIS, 2022-03-29)
Island biogeography provides concepts for conservation management as fragmented habitats are comparable to ocean islands. Remote sensing can help to extract terrestrial habitat islands on the landscape scale. However, ... -
Hydrological modelling for assessing spatio‐temporal groundwater recharge variations in the water‐stressed Amathole Water Supply System, Eastern Cape, South Africa
; Eley, Malte; Schöniger, Matthias; Gwapedza, David; Tanner, Jane; Mantel, Sukhmani Kaur; Scheihing, Konstantin (Hydrological Processes, 2021-06-23)
Abstract To increase the resilience of regional water supply systems in South Africa in the face of anticipated climatic changes and a constant increase in water demand, water supply sources require diversification. Many ... -
Sedimentological evidence for seiching in a swell-dominated headland-bay system: Table Bay, Western Cape, South Africa
; (Geo-Marine Letters, 2021-09-18)
Table Bay, South Africa, is a typical headland-bay system with a shoreline that can be described by a logarithmic spiral. A peculiarity and unique feature of Table Bay is the juxtaposition of Robben Island opposite its ... -
Sedimentology of a coastal shelf sector characterised by multiple bedload boundaries: Plettenberg Bay, inner Agulhas Bank, South Africa
; (Geo-Marine Letters, 2021-07-06)
The study deals with a large sand body (spit-bar) attached to the eastern tip of the Robberg Peninsula, Plettenberg Bay, South Africa. To date, the bar has prograded about 8 km beyond the tip of the peninsula. The bar top ... -
