(2000)South Africa is confronted by a number ofproblems which include: a high and rapidly increasing population, conditions of poverty, hunger, illiteracy, unemployment, and a degrade9 environment. These problems are associated ... -
Mapping drought stress in commercial eucalyptus forest plantations using remotely sensed techniques in Southern Africa.
(2021)Drought is one of the least understood and hazardous natural disasters that leave many parts of the world devastated. To improve understanding and detection of drought onset, remote sensing technology is required to map ... -

Mapping land degradation using remote sensing data and an unsupervised clustering algorithm in the eThekwini Metropolitan Area.
(2020)Land degradation is a major environmental problem facing South Africa and many other countries around the world. For proper management and adoption of best rehabilitation strategies, a compendious regional-scale assessment ... -
Mapping potential soil erosion using rusle, remote sensing, and GIS : the case study of Weenen Game Reserve, KwaZulu-Natal.
(2004)Accelerated soil erosion is drawing a growing attention with the recognition that the rate of soil loss is too great to be met by soil formation rate. Weenen Game Reserve (WGR) is an area with an unfortunate history of ... -
Mass violence in Durban's settlements in the 1980s.
(1989)The focus of this study is on the occurrence of mass violence in Durban's settlements in the 1980s. Mass violence is defined as the violent reaction of crowds against targets, which may be people and/or objects - for example ... -

(1999)This study was designed to investigate the meaning of the concept of tourism among black South Africans in general and black urban dwellers in particular. The aims of the study were as follows: (a) To look at how black ... -
Mechanical weathering in cold regions with special emphasis on the Antarctic environment and the freeze-thaw mechanism in particular.
(2003)Consideration of almost any geomorphology textbook will show the fundamental argument that in cold environments mechanical weathering processes, usually freeze-thaw, will predominate and that chemical weathering will be ... -
Memory, nostalgia and reality: a socio-historical perspective of the Grey Street complex.

Modelling terrain roughness using LiDAR derived digital terrain model in eucalyptus plantation forests, in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
(2017)South African commercial plantation forests are established primarily to meet both the local and global demands of industries that require direct raw materials such as pulpwood or timber. Consequently, the commercial forest ... -
Modelling the likelihood of wetland occurrence in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa : a Bayesian approach.
(2014)Global trends of transformation and loss of wetlands to other land uses has deleterious effects on surrounding ecosystems, and there is a resultant increasing need for improved mapping of wetlands. This is because wetland ... -
