The effect of winery wastewater irrigation on the properties of selected soils from the South African wine region

Mulidzi, Azwimbavhi Reckson (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2016-12)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Due to an increase in wine production as well as an intensification of environmental legislation in South Africa, the need for guidelines for sustainable management of winery wastewater has increased. To ...

The metamorphic and anatectic history of Archaean metapelitic granulites from the South Marginal Zone, Limpopo Belt, South Africa.

Nicoli, Gautier (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2015-04)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Anatexis is the first step in granite genesis. Partial melting in the lower crust may produce leucoratic features of unusual chemical compositions, very different from the final products of crustal ...

Structure and evolution of basin and petroleum systems within a transformrelated passive margin setting : data-based insights from crust-scale 3D modelling of the Western Bredasdorp Basin, offshore South Africa

Sonibare, Wasiu Adedayo (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch UniversityStellenbosch University, 2015-04)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigates the crustal structure, and assesses the qualitative and quantitative impacts of crust-mantle dynamics on subsidence pattern, past and present-day thermal field and petroleum system ...

Evolution of the continental crust and significance of the zircon record, a case study from the French Massif Central.

Couzinie, Simon Gwenael (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2018-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The formation of the continental crust is a major consequence of Earth di erentiation. Recent advances on this topic bene ted from improvements of analytical techniques enabling in situ measurements of ...

The processes of melt segregation, magma ascent and pluton emplacement in the continental crust of the Damara Belt, Namibia

Hall, Duncan James (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2016-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Theoretical models of meso- and macroscale granitic melt/magma transport commonly invoke a prominent role for dilatant fracturing of the wall rocks, but supporting field evidence is in many cases only ...

Geology, structural evolution and controls of hydrothermal gold mineralization in the Eastern Karagwe-Ankole fold belt, North Western Tanzania

Koegelenberg, Corne (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2016-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In central-east Africa, the north-western margin of the Archaean Tanzania Craton (TC) is overlain by imbricated, low grade, volcano-sedimentary rocks of the Karagwe-Ankole belt’s (KAB) Eastern Domain (ED). ...

Bulk geochemical, biomarker and leaf wax isotope records of Mfabeni peatland, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa since the late Pleistocene

Baker, Andrea (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2016-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Southern Africa is a topographically diverse region that is influenced by temperate, sub-tropical and tropical climates encompassing varying rainfall zones. The core regional contemporary climatic drivers ...

Repeated partial melting events in the polymetamorphic Carlos Chagas batholith : implications for the tectono-metamorphic evolution of the Araçuaí orogen (southeastern Brazil)

De Melo, Marilane Gonzaga (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2017-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Araçuaí orogen (AO), located in the southeastern Brazil, and its African counterpart, the West Congo belt, is part of the Pan-African-Brasiliano orogenic system developed between the Congo and São ...

Differentiation and stabilisation of the Archean continental crust, the example of the northern edge of the Kaapvaal craton, South Africa

Vezinet, Adrien (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2017-03)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Earth is one of the only solid celestial bodies displaying, at present day, an internal activity significant enough to modify its surface. This activity is mostly pictured by plate tectonic motions, ...

Genesis and evolution of a Neoproterozoic magmatic arc: the cordilleran-type granitoids of the Araçuaí Belt, Brazil.

Narduzzi, Francesco (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2018-12)

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Araçuaí orogen (SE Brazil) is one of the largest (350,000 km2) and long-lived (ca. 630 – 480 Ma) granitic province in the world. Its wide variety of granitoids recording mid- to lower crustal P - T ...
