About Ritshidze

Phone verified

I have recently completed my Masters in Earth Sciences at Stellenbosch University. My research topic was “Evaluating groundwater storage changes under drought in the Western Cape using satellite and in-situ data”. I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Geology from University of Limpopo and an Honours degree in Hydrology and Water Resources from University of Venda. My honours project focused on the “Evaluation of coagulating activities of Dicerocaryum plant in treating highly turbid water”. I graduated with good marks and was awarded an NSFAS bursary and an NRF scholarship throughout my studies. During my school years I have developed excellent analytical skills, where I used GIS, R programming, and Microsoft Excel to understand how satellite data (i.e., Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment), and Global Land Data Assimilation System can be used to monitor groundwater resources in the Western Cape. I also developed communication skills during my time as a Hydrogeology Practical Tutor for 3rd year students, where I prepared, conducted, and marked practicals (hybrid). I also helped with the Honours Hydrogeologic Field Skills course, where I helped teach hydrogeologic field skills (i.e., pumping test, etc) at Stellenbosch University. I also communicated my research results in a variety of conferences: Oral presentation at International Association of Hydrogeologists South Africa (IAH-SA) virtual conference (September 2022) and more recently Poster at GEOCONGRESS conference 2023 at Stellenbosch University (January 2023). I have a sharp eye for detail, I am skilled at problem-solving strategies, and have a strong desire to advance my career.
