The workshops and constant debates challenged my beliefs and provided me with new lenses to view the world, further stoking the fire in my heart to be part of the change in Africa.” – Mary Opondo (Kenya & the 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 of Johannesburg, 2011

 SADC-GMI Aquatic Ecology/Biodiversity MSc & PhD Bursaries 2021

SOUTHERN AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE (SADC-GMI)

Background:

Project: Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems (GDEs) and Biodiversity in the Khakea/Bray Transboundary Aquifer Project

Post graduate opportunity in Biodiversity and Geohydrology - 2021 to 2023

SADC-GMI is a Centre of Excellence subsidiary of the SADC Secretariat with the mandate to promote the sustainable conjunctive surface and groundwater management and provide solutions to groundwater challenges in the SADC region. The SADC-GMI secured funding from the JRS Biodiversity Foundation to implement the Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems (GDEs) and Biodiversity in the Khakhea/ Bray Dolomite Transboundary Aquifer (TBA) research project. The Khakea/Bray TBA is shared between Botswana and South Africa. The project is envisaged to run over three years from August 2020 until July 2023.

The proposed project therefore seeks to:

• Perform a desktop delineation of the Khakea/Bray Transboundary Aquifer, Delineate GDEs in the Khakea/ Bray TBA by means of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems,
• Perform hydrogeological/geohydrological investigations around the identified GDEs,
• Collect ground and surface water biodiversity data at the identified GDEs and assess the ecological conditions at the GDEs,
• Identify and explain the linkages between groundwater and surface water ecosystems i.e. wetlands and rivers,
• Identify hotâ€?spots where management interventions should be focused, and
• Develop a Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems Atlas which is, linked to a biodiversity database.

The results from this study which is in line with SADC-GMI's mandate will feed into a Decision Support System being developed for the TBA to assist both Botswana and South Africa's needs.

Leadership of this project is through Eng. James Sauramba as Project Director, supported by three key technical experts in Biodiversity; Geohydrology; and GIS/Remote Sensing respectively. Mainstreaming of Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) is assured through a dedicated GESI Expert.

Post Graduate Research bursaries
The SADC-GMI through this JRS Biodiversity Foundation funded project is offering bursaries for the following;

• PhD in Aquatic Ecology/Biodiversity - 1 Position at Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网.
• PhD in GIS/Remote Sensing - 1 Position at 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 of Western Cape.

Successful applicants will acquire skills in an exciting and widely applicable interdisciplinary fields involving biodiversity assessments, trophic marker analysis (i.e. stable isotope signatures) to study energy transfer between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and the application of hydrogeology/geohydrology tools to characterise aquifers. Research projects will be tailored to individual research interests mostly focusing on GDEs biodiversity assessments and geohydrology.
