This thesis is my own work. ii Abstract This study explores the utility of stable light isotopes in Chersina angulata (angulate or bowsprit tortoise) bone collagen as a paleoenvironmental proxy, to augment the limited range of proxies preserved in Southern Africa. δ13C and δ15N were measured in 76 archaeological tortoises from Elands Bay Cave and nearby Tortoise Cave. The samples range in age from the late Holocene to the terminal Pleistocene. δ15N values are not strongly correlated with δ13C, indicating different drivers of variation in the two isotopes. δ13C and δ15N values are lower between 154-487 cal. BP, which spans the Little Ice Age, compared with 744-1 042 cal.

A multi-level heckprobit estimator is employed in order to capture the influence of various factors at the individual, household and regional level, and we focus on the implications of the presence of pensioners and the unemployment on household composition and structure. Results are consistent with earlier findings that pensions are a key insurance mechanism for cushioning younger household members against adverse labour market conditions in rural South Africa. Hence they explain the propensity by household members to postpone formation of new independent household in order to continue living in multigenerational households.

    HOPEFIELD PRIVATE NATURE RESERVE MANAGEMENT PLAN – AUGUST 2019 HOPEFIELD PRIVATE NATURE RESERVE PROTECTED AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN The acid sands of marine origins and the Malmesbury shales of the Swartland meet at Hopefield. Here, the interplay of soil types and water permeability of these substrates as well as the climatic influence of the nearby Atlantic Ocean leads to unique habitats and many seasonal wetlands. Thus, the area has many interesting endemic and threatened plant taxa and it is no surprise that Hopefield is now renowned for its annual flower show which is run by a passionate and knowledgeable group of local volunteers (Maree and Vromans 2010).

  • Assessing the Hydrogeologic Characteristics and Sources of Groundwater Recharge and Flow in the Elandsfontein Aquifer, West Coast, Western Cape, South Africa
    Assessing the hydrogeologic characteristics and sources of groundwater recharge and flow in the Elandsfontein aquifer, West Coast, Western Cape, South Africa By Kezia Smith Dissertation submitted to the University of the Western Cape in the fulfilment of the degree of Master of Science Department of Earth Sciences Faculty of Sciences, University of the Western Cape Supervisor Dr. Jacobus Martinus Nel Co-supervisor Dr. Thokozani Kanyerere July 2020 University of the Western Cape, Department of Earth Sciences, P/Bag X17, Robert Sobukwe Road, Bellville, 7535, South Africa http://etd.uwc.ac.za/ Abstract Assessing the hydrogeologic characteristics and sources of groundwater recharge and flow in the Elandsfontein aquifer, West Coast, Western Cape, South Africa Kezia Smith MSc Thesis Department of Earth Sciences University of the Western Cape, South Africa Key Words: Coastal Aquifer, Recharge Processes, Groundwater Flow Mechanisms, Cumulative Recharge Departure, Stable Isotopes, Chemistry, Conceptual Model. Abstract: This study is part of the current investigation of the Elandsfontein aquifer to assist with the management of the system and to ensure the protection of the associated Langebaan Lagoon RAMSAR listed site. The Elandsfontein aquifer unit is situated adjacent to the Langebaan Road aquifer in the Lower Berg River Region. The aquifer unit is bordered by the Langebaan Lagoon (west), possible boundary toward the Langebaan Road aquifer (north), the Groen River bedrock high (south- east) and the Darling batholith (south). The aim of the study is to characterise and conceptualise groundwater recharge sources and flow processes of the Elandsfontein Aquifer System (EAS). This study evaluated groundwater flow paths and recharge processes using the Cumulative Rainfall Departure (CRD), hydrochemical descriptors (major ion) and stable isotope 2H and 18O methods.
