Water balance and infiltration in a seasonal floodplain in the Okavango Delta, Botswana
(Springer link, http://link.springer.com, 2006)
Water balance in a seasonal floodplain in the Okavango Delta, Botswana was determined for three years (1997–1999). There was no surface outflow, and infiltration to ground water was very large (4.7–9.7 m during 90–175 days ...
Characterization of arsenic occurrence in the water and sediments of the Okavango Delta, NW Botswana
(Elsevier Science B.V. Amsterdam; http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/768/description#description, 2006)
Detailed chemical analyses were performed on surface water, groundwater and sediment samples collected from the
Okavango Delta between February and November 2003 in order to examine the distribution and geochemistry ...
Effects of annual flooding on dissolved organic carbon dynamics within a pristine wetland, the Okavango Delta, Botswana
(The Society of Wetland Scientists, 2005)
In the Okavango Delta in Botswana, dissolved organic matter (DOM) transport is controlled by
the slow movement of an annual flood ‘pulse’ across permanently and seasonally flooded wetlands, known
respectively as the ...
Forecasting the spatial extent of the annual flood in the Okavango delta, Botswana
(Elservier, www.elsevier.com, 2004)
The pristine Okavango Delta wetland of northern Botswana is potentially under threat due to water abstraction from its tributaries. We have developed a statistical model which makes it possible to predict the extent of ...
Incorporating uncertainty into adaptive, transboundary water challenges: a conceptual design for the Okavango River Basin
(Inderscience, http://www.inderscience.com, 2008)
In this paper, we present a review and conceptual design to integrate hydrological/ecological models, global uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, integrative modelling and decision analysis for complex and adaptive ...
Global monitoring of wetlands - the value of ENVISAT ASAR Global mode
(Elsevier, 2008-03-17)
This paper elaborates on recent advances in the use of ScanSAR technologies for wetland-related research. Applications of active satellite radar systems include the monitoring of inundation dynamics as well as time series ...
Water flow dynamics in the Okavango River Basin and Delta - a prerequisite for the ecosystems of the Delta
(Elsvier, www.elsevier.com, 2003-09-08)
As part of the EU-funded project ‘Water and Ecosystem
Resources in Regional Development––Balancing
Societal Needs and Wants and Natural Resources Systems
Sustainability in International River Basin Systems’

Remote sensing-derived hydroperiod as a predictor of floodplain vegetation composition
(Springer Link; https://link.springer.com, 2014-02-13)
Characterising hydroperiod and vegetation for flood-pulsed wetlands is a critical first step towards understanding their ecology. In large, data-poor wetlands such as Botswana’s Okavango Delta, quantifying hydrology and ...
A vegetation-based hierarchical classification for seasonally pulsed floodplains in the Okavango Delta, Botswana
(Taylor & Francis, http://taylorandfrancis.com, 2011-12-11)
A classification scheme is presented for seasonal floodplains of the Boro-Xudum distributary of the Okavango Delta, Botswana. This distributary is subject to an annual flood-pulse, the inundated area varying from a mean ...
