Transplant experiments to restore old fields with indigenous flora
Transplant experiments to restore old fields with indigenous flora Charl Clarke (Hons), Lanja Oosthuizen (Hons), Lene Cronje (hons) Supervisor: Stefan Siebert Rationale Old fields are created through exogenous disturbance which alters the soil profile to such an extent that native plant diversity is lost. It is known that old…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/metsi/holocene-paleoecology-wetland-spring-mooi-river
Holocene paleoecology of a wetland at the spring of the Mooi River
Holocene paleoecology of a wetland at the spring of the Mooi River Coert Coetzee (Hons) Supervisor: Prof Frank Neumann Co-supervisor: Ms Moteng Moseri Commenced 2022 Rationale Peat is deposited over millennia, as this deposition occurs a record of condition from each time period is preserved. Using multiple proxies (pollen,…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/metsi/drks311-ecology-projects
DRKS311 Ecology Projects
DRKS311 Ecology Projects Senior researcher: Prof Wynand Malherbe Rationale METSI has frequently been used for DRKS311 Ecology projects and is necessary to build a database and compare data with previous data from the Mooi River and Gerhard Minnebron. This data will provide more information on the water…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/centre-space-research/seminars

Materials Science
Materials Science in the Centre for Space Research focuses on applications in space, particularly Lower Earth Orbit (LEO). LEO is broadly considered the region (between 200 and 2000 km above the earth's surface). Today, observation satellites operating within LEO provide daily environmental monitoring, meteorological observations,…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/centre-space-research/galaxy-evolution
Galaxy Evolution
Research in galaxy evolution is crucial for understanding the fundamental processes that shape the vast and diverse cosmic tapestry. By studying how galaxies form and evolve over cosmic time, we gain insights into the underlying physical principles governing the Universe. This knowledge not only deepens our comprehension of our own Milky Way but…http://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/eco-analytica-laboratory/services
