Using applied palaeoecology and participatory system dynamics modelling to investigate changes in ecosystem services in response to climate and social-ecological drivers within the... by Dirk, Cherié Janine

“…Adaptive grazing-fire management is recommended to maintain and restore ecosystem function, thereby decreasing the likelihood of future regime shifts to a degraded alternative stable state. This innovative interdisciplinary approach provides a contextual understanding of processes that influence dynamic social-ecological systems and translates long-term data into a form that can be used by policymakers and land-use managers to inform sustainable management of ecosystem services.…”

An analysis of recent severe climate events over Tanzania by Kijazi, Agnes Lawrence

“…The thesis first touches on an analysis of the mean characteristics of selected meteorological fields comprising both MAM and OND rainfall seasons. Such processes were examined as necessary background information to determine the causes of rainfall variability. …”

A study of Mesoscale Eddies, the Agulhas current and the evolution of its meanders using satellite observations and numerical modelling experiments by Braby, Laura

“…Whilst existing numerical models are successfully able to capture many aspects of the Agulhas Current, many models are unable to accurately represent the observed eddy dissipation and interaction processes, affecting our understanding of mesoscale variability within in the current. …”

An Investigation of the SHIV reservoirs in the lymphoid organs of HIV-vaccinated rhesus monkeys after SHIV challenge by Benn, Kealan Timothy

“…There was minimal variation within the vaccine group and between the vaccine and control groups with amino acid changes in the variable region 1 (V1), glycan N276 in the conserved region 2 (C2) and variable region 4 (V4) resulting in potential N-glycosylation sites (PNGS) being shifted as well as new glycosylation sites being formed while other lost. …”
