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 of deep groundwater) • Study organic geochemistry = insight into shale gas potential of the Ecca Group
