Contribution of anthropogenic climate change to the magnitude of extreme rainfall events and associated synoptic conditions during recent flooding in Kenya by Kimutai, Joyce

“…The atmospheric states were based on Self Organizing Maps analysis of specific humidity, air temperature, and zonal and meridional wind at 850hPa on surface level pressure and zonal moisture flux.…”

Quantifying texture for acid rock drainage characterisation and prediction by Guseva, Olga

“…Recommendations for future work include: the quantitative assessment of the ARDI for meso-scale material; the assessment of detailed characterisation and prediction test leachate chemistry; trace element assessment and deportment throughout UCT batch biokinetic and humidity cell testing; mineralogical and textural assessment on characterisation and prediction test residues during and after tests; an in-depth analysis of the minimal/optimal sample block/sub-sample mass required for minimal error; the assessment of samples using X-ray microcomputed tomography to assess and decrease the effects of stereological bias prevalent in 2D measurements; and the application of a similar texture and mineralogy assessment to additional waste types (such as coal wastes, or waste material containing non-Fe-bearing sulfides).…”

Concentrating human urine by evaporation by Hislop, Amy

“…It was also recommended that the thermodynamic simulations account for urea hydrolysis, NH3 volatilization and the formation of CaCO3 during evaporation in future work. Finally, it was recommended that the solid fertilizer formed after complete water removal by evaporation be tested to determine its applicability to growing different crops, as well as to determine how this fertilizer compares to commercial and synthetic fertilizers.…”

Late Holocene environmental and climate dynamics along the southern Cape coast of South Africa: high resolution multi-proxy records from the wilderness embayment by du Plessis, Nadia

“…The most durable phase of forest expansion, and likely more humid conditions, occurred during the transition between the MCA and core cooling of the LIA with the LIA clearly identified as a period of cool, dry conditions between c. …”
