Spatialised ecosystem modelling to evaluate the influences of marine protected areas and provisioning ecotourism on the foraging and distributional response of top predators from M... by Grusd, Samantha Paige

“…The Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) and Ecospace modelling framework was utilised to investigate the distributional response of sharks and top predators on the South-East coast to the introduction of two new MPAs (in 2019) and seasonal provisioning for shark cage diving (in 2020), over a 35-year simulation period. A mass-balance Ecopath model was designed and parameterised for the 2008–2018 data period as a foundation for the spatial Ecospace models. …”

Seasonality of the Agulhas Current with respect to near- and far-field winds by Hutchinson, Katherine

“…Here, the role of winds on Agulhas Current seasonality is investigated using shallow water models, satellite measurements, and a 23-year transport proxy based on observations. A one-and-a-half layer reduced gravity model is shown to successfully reproduce the seasonal phasing of the current. …”

Managing nutrient flows into the Zandvlei Estuary, Cape Town using Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) by Ghoor, Zarmeen

“…Wetlands were modelled with upper and lower limit treatment equations. The simulated wetlands were able to reduce the SRP and TIN concentrations to below the eutrophic threshold (below 0.25 mg/ℓ and 2.5 mg/ℓ respectively) for three years out of the 8-year simulation period. …”

Impact of Thermally Activated Building Systems (TABS) in Office Buildings by Kgaladi, Lebogang

“…The system was estimated to consume 2 384 908 kWh annually and cost R 1 734 156 to operate in the initial year. Similar to the HVAC option, the TABS installation would have a simple payback period of seven years and a discounted payback of ten years. …”
