Introduction (The Ecca Group)
(Johnson, 2009)
(Cole, 2014) (Hancox and Götz, 2014)
Aims and scientific objectives
Knowledge creation:
- Reconstruct depositional history of the Karoo Basin
- Unravel the deep structure of the Karoo Basin
- Effect and distribution of dolerite intrusions
Capacity building:
- Equip South African postgraduate students
Aims and scientific objectives
- Better litho- and chronostratigraphic understanding (Ecca
Group)
- Better biostratigraphic framework (Ecca Group)
- Better magnetostratigraphic framework (Ecca Group)
- Characterization of hydrogeological conditions (monitoring
- f deep groundwater)
- Study organic geochemistry
= insight into shale gas potential of the Ecca Group
