  • Geology and Geochronology of the Nyl River Floodplain Sediments, Limpopo Province, South Africa
    Geology and geochronology of the Nyl River floodplain sediments, Limpopo Province, South Africa Debra Colarossi A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geology. Johannesburg 2013 Declaration I declare that this dissertation is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for the Degree of Master of Science in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other University. Signed: ______________________________ Date: ______________________________ ~ ii ~ Abstract The Nyl River floodplain, located in the Limpopo Province, is one of the few active sedimentary basins that exist within the South African interior, providing a unique opportunity to study the effect of climate change on fluvial systems. Progradation of tributary fans into the Nyl/Mogalakwena River has raised the surface by 30 m and forced the course of the river westwards towards the Waterberg. Periods of progradation deposited thick sequences of coarse-grained sediments with sand- to gravel-sized mean grain sizes and coarsely-skewed populations in the distal reaches of the tributary fans. These periods were interspersed with periods of relative non-deposition, when active sedimentation on the fan ceased and shallow lakes (or vleis) developed in the trunk river, resulting in deposition of fine-grained, organic-rich, floodplain sediment layers with silt-sized mean grain sizes and finely-skewed distributions in the extreme outer reaches of the tributary fan. The alternating progradational sequences and non-deposition events produced interlayered floodplain and fan deposits in the furthest reaches of the tributary fans along the banks of the Nyl/Mogalakwena River.

Wetland sediments are important as they provide an indication of potential contamination across temporal and spatial scales. The current study aimed to investigate the distributions of selected metals and nutrients in different sites in relation to sediment depth, and identify relationships among sediment metals. Significant differences in nutrient (i.e., N, P) and metal (i.e., K, Mg, Na, Fe, Cu, B) concentrations were found across study sites, whereas nutrients (i.e., N, P) and metals (i.e., Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn) were significantly different with sediment depths. When compared against Canadian sediment standards, most of the assessed metals were within the “no effect” level across the different sites and depths.

  • Interfacing Science and Management for the Nylsvley Nature Reserve
    Interfacing Science and Management for the Nylsvley Nature Reserve Regina Xavier Bestbier A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, for the Degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, August 1998 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own, unaiderl work. It is being submitted for the degree of Master of Science at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in any other University. Regina Xavier Bestbier 11til day of August, 199& Ii ABSTRACT Scientists possess knowledge and access to information that is critical to the management of natural resources, yet all too often this information is not effectively transferred and integrated into the management process. This lack of integration of scientific information into conservation management is a result of the barriers that exist between scientists and managers. Differences in the goals and reward systems of managers and scientists lead to managers feeling that scientists do not produce the "goods" that they require, Wh;l'! scientists claim that managers do not provide the questions for which they require answers. There is also a lack of forward thinking, goal-orientated management. As a result much of conservation management relies on irtuinvc, ad hoc decision-making which leads to It problem-by-problem curative approach (cf. adaptive management) as well as a lack of accountability and evaluation. The thesis of this study is that to overcome barriers between

    An assessment protocol for water quality integrity and management of the Nyl River Wetland System By Richard Greenfield Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree PHILOSOPHIAE DOCTOR In Aquatic Health In the DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY University of Johannesburg Promoter: Professor J.H.J. van Vuren University of Johannesburg Co-Promoter Professor V. Wepener University of Johannesburg October 2004 Acknowledgments There are many people who helped me in the completion of this research project ranging from those who helped with fieldwork, those who helped with funding to those who gave me moral support. I appreciate all the help that they provided and would like to thank them all for their time and patience. The staff and students at the University of Johannesburg have been a great help and their input has been invaluable. A special word of thanks must be extended to Professors Johan van Vuren and Victor Wepener. Thank you for all your support and advice; I really appreciate it. A word of thanks must be extended to Dr. Wynand Vlok, Clayton Cook and Support Chavalala for the valuable help they provided on field sampling trips. Sampling trips with you guys were great; it is hard to say you are working when you are having that much fun at the same time. I would also like to extend a word of thanks to Dr Steve Mitchell and the Water Research Commission for funding the project. A final word of thanks must be extended to my family and friends, without their understanding and patience this project would have been much tougher.
