Machine learning digital soil mapping to inform gully erosion mitigation measures in the Eastern Cape, South Africa
(Elsevier, 2020)Soil erosion is probably the most common form of land degradation, leading to on and off site detrimental effects, such as an increase in river sediment load which have been shown to drastically decrease dam storage capacity. ... -
Mobility potential of metals in acid mine drainage occurring in the Highveld area of Mpumalanga Province in South Africa: implication of sediments and efflorescent crusts
(Elsevier, 2017)Prediction of the dispersion of pollutants from the acid mine drainage is an important step toward the development of remediation strategy and mitigation of environmental impact. Geochemical studies are often carried out ... -
Nanomaterials in the aquatic environment: a European Union United States perspective on the status of ecotoxicity testing, research priorities, and challenges ahead
(Wiley, 2016)The European Union–United States Communities of Research were established in 2012 to provide a platform for scientists to develop a “shared repertoire of protocols and methods to overcome nanotechnology environmental health ... -
The possible association between selected sediment characteristics and the occurrence of benthic macroinvertebrates in a minimally affected river in South Africa
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)Forty-two families of which the vast majority associated with particles >2000 µm were found. Sediment particle sizes <2000 µm had a detrimental effect on biodiversity. The highest biodiversity was recorded at sites ... -
Receptor-mediated potencies of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in urban sediments: comparisons of toxic equivalency risk assessment
(Springer, 2019)The Klip River, flowing through South Africa’s most populated urban area—Soweto and Lenasia—is subject to various pollution and anthropogenic influences, including great concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. ...
