The biophysical processes controlling the South-East Madagascar Bloom by Dilmahamod Ahmad Fehmi

“…This austral summer bloom extends largely towards the open ocean, from the Madagascan coasts up to ~65°E and it exhibits an intriguing interannual variability. A variety of observational datasets as well as a high resolution coupled physical-biogeochemical model, based on CROCOPISCES, are used to explore the biophysical processes associated with the bloom and these westward-propagating eddies. …”

Population genetics of South African Protea L. (Proteaceae) species associated with various pollinator guilds by Smith, Megan

“…However, it is often uncertain how these pollination systems affect gene flow between plant populations, mating system outcome, and subsequent genetic health of plant species. Genetic variability is an important aspect in understanding the long-term survival of a species because excessive homozygosity, as a result of high amounts of inbreeding, may restrict a species’ long-term local adaptive potential. …”

Extension and verification of the PWM_SA model to incorporate SANI-specific bioprocesses using experimental data from the Hong Kong SANI saline sewage treatment pilot plant. by Mudau, Hope Thendo

“…Although the steady-state model provided meaningful insights, some limitations highlight the potential for future dynamic modelling to capture transient fluctuations and real-time responses to influent variability. This research establishes a critical foundation for the implementation of SANI-based saline sewage treatment in South Africa, supporting efforts to enhance water sustainability and manage pollution effectively in saline and water-stressed environments.…”
