  Zwartkloof is situated in a structurally complex area where structural control of hydrothermal fluorite mineralisation plays a dominant role in the character, and therefore economic viability, of the deposits in Rooiberg ...
• On the significance of stratigraphy in the prediction of the engineering behaviour of soils and rocks in Southern Africa 

  Brink, Anthony Berrange Antill (University of Pretoria, 1977)

  The object of this thesis is to demonstrate that a knowledge of the stratigraphic unit occupying a site provides a basis for making broad generalisations regarding likely terrain and foundation conditions which may be used ...
• Survival of the southern elephant seal, mirounga leonina, population of Marion Island 

  Pistorius, Pierre Anton (University of Pretoria, 1999)

  Demographic parameters from a 14-year mark-recapture program on southern elephant seals at Marion Island were investigated. Using the computer package MARK, first year survival was estimated at 0.58 and 0.62, and equated ...
