Gender, geography and urban form : a case study of Durban.
(1987)This research project is primarily a theoretical work which critiques androcentric knowledge in general and androcentricism in South African human geography in particular . It therefore has relevance both for local ... -
Sedimentary models for coal formation in the Klip River coalfield.
(1988)The primary objective of this study was to establish sedimentary models for peat formation in the southern part of the Klip River coalfield during Ecca (Permian) times and to assess palaeoenvironmental controls on coal ... -
Mass violence in Durban's settlements in the 1980s.
(1989)The focus of this study is on the occurrence of mass violence in Durban's settlements in the 1980s. Mass violence is defined as the violent reaction of crowds against targets, which may be people and/or objects - for example ... -

Site relationships for Pinus patula in the Eastern Transvaal escarpment area.
(1990)The largest area of commercial timber plantations in southern Africa is situated along the Eastern Transvaal Drakensberg Escarpment north of Nelspruit. The site requirements of tree species in this area are poorly understood. ... -
The petrology, geochemistry and classification of the Bien Venue massive sulphide deposit, Barberton mountain land.
(1990)The Bien Venue massive sulphide deposit is associated with a felsic volcanic succession developed in the north-eastern part of the Barberton Greenstone Belt, Eastern Transvaal. The deposit is situated 8km east-north-east ... -
A comparative study of soil erosion in the Umfolozi Game Reserve and adjacent Kwazulu area from 1937 to 1983.
(1990)This thesis describes a comparative study of actual and potential soil erosion in the Wilderness area of the Umfolozi Game Reserve, and a biophysiographically comparable adjacent traditional KwaZulu landuse area. Estimates ... -
An investigation into some aspects of the relationship between diabetes mellitus and male sexual dysfunction.
(1990)This investigation reports the effects of diabetes mellitus on some aspects of the male reproductive system. When compared to non-diabetic controls, human diabetics indicated a 35% reduction in gross sperm motility, a ... -
Butterworth : a growth pole.
(1991)In recent times much attention has b een focussed on the spatial development of countries, especially in those countries of the world referred to as the Third World. Many factors have given rise to this interest. It has ... -
Sedimentary models and geomorphological classification of river-mouths on a subtropical, wave-dominated coast, Natal, South Africa.
(1991)Abstract available in PDF. -
Sedimentology, coral reef zonation, and late Pleistocene coastline models of the Sodwana Bay continental shelf, Northern Zululand
(1991)This geostrophic current-controlled Zululand/Natal shelf displays a unique assemblage of interesting physical, sedimentological and biological phenomena. The shelf in this area is extremely narrow compared to the global ... -
Upgrading? : a realistic option for the Ntchaweni squatter settlement.
(1992)This thesis recognises that quantitative research distances the researcher from the people who form part and parcel of squatter settlements. Therefore, in the course of analysing whether upgrading is a realistic option ... -
Zinc-lead mineralization at Pering Mine in the Griqualand West sub-basin : an isotopic study.
(1992)Detailed studies, both chemical and physical, have been performed on various dolomites and vug-filling carbonates, to determine the pathways and extent of the mineralizing fluids associated with the Pering Zn-Pb deposit ... -
Geological evolution of western H.U. Sverdrupfjella, Dronning Maud land, Antarctica.
(1992)The oldest rocks of western H.U. Sverdrupfjella, the Jutulrora Formation, consist of interlayered mafic to felsic ortho- and paragneisses thought to represent calc-alkaline volcanic and clastic sedimentary rocks. These ... -
Multivariate regionalization of economic development in Transkei.
(1992)In recent years, increasing attention has been devoted to the inequalities in development of countries, especially the third world countries, in formulating national development plans. Geographers interested in the regional ... -
