Biological Projects

Fieldwork, practicals, and short write-ups from the Gqeberha coastline.

Intertidal Ecology

Analysis of species distribution across rocky shores. Focusing on community structure and adaptation to wave exposure.

Stress Response

Documenting how intertidal fauna respond to environmental stressors like temperature spikes and desiccation.

Field Documentation

Documenting biological systems through direct observation and experimentation.

Algae study

Coastal algae observed at Port Elizabeth reveal unexpected complexity under the microscope, offering insight into early plant evolution and marine adaptation.

Physics into our own hands

This Joule’s Law experiment measures how electrical resistance produces heat under controlled conditions.
