  • The nature of erosive rainfall on a tropical volcanic island with an elevated interior 
    Nel, Werner; Mongwa, Themba; Sumner, P.D. (Paul); Anderson, Ryan Leigh; Dhurmea, Kumar R.; Boodhoo, Yadowsun; Boojhawon, Ravindra; Rughooputh, Soonil D.D.V. (Taylor & Francis, 2012)
    Mauritius is a typical tropical volcanic island with a distinct elevated central plateau above 550 m.a.s.l. Rainfall depth, duration, intensity, kinetic energy, and erosivity were analysed for 385 erosive rainfall events ...
  • Temporal sensitivity analysis of erosivity estimations in a high rainfall tropical island environment 
    Nel, Werner; Anderson, Ryan Leigh; Sumner, P.D. (Paul); Boojhawon, Ravindra; Rughooputh, Soonil D.D.V.; Dunputh, Balraj H.J. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-12)
    The Erosivity Index (EI) and the Modified Fournier Index (MFI) are two commonly used methods in calculating the R factor of the universal soil loss equation/ revised universal soil loss equation formula. Using Mauritius as ...
