Sediment Geochemistry and Benthic Ecological Quality in Coastal Waters of Rivers State, Nigeria

Eyibara, Oghenehokoke U., Abia Uwem B., Asuaiko Ekpedeme R., Okpoji Awajiiroijana U., Iikediuwa, Sandra C., Omuluche, Collins O., Nwauzor J. N., Nwanekwu Akunna M., Onuchukwu Ejikeme E. & Isaac Stanley C. · Asian Journal of Geological Research · 2026

Coastal sediments act as repositories and potential secondary sources of contaminants, while their physicochemical characteristics influence the retention, mobility, and bioavailability of heavy metals. In the Niger Delta, increasing anthropogenic pressures have raised concerns a...

Open access Research Article 10.9734/ajoger/2026/v9i3296

Molecular Characterisation and Biomarker Evaluation of Crude Oils from Selected Oil Fields in the Niger Delta Basin, Nigeria

Ekpedeme Asuaiko R., Abia Uwem B., Yunusa Abdulrahman, Omuluche Collins O., Isaac Ukeme O., Okoye Peter I., Okpoji, Awajiiroijana U & Cookey Cookey I. · Journal of Energy Research and Reviews · 2026

Crude-oil molecular biomarkers provide reliable geochemical indicators for evaluating petroleum origin, thermal maturity, depositional environment and reservoir correlation. This study investigated the physicochemical characteristics and molecular biomarker composition of crude o...

Assessment of Seawater Intrusion in Coastal Aquifers Using Integrated Hydrochemical Indices and Geophysical Techniques: A Case Study of the Niger Delta, Nigeria

Etukudo Nsikan J., Ekpedeme Asuaiko R., Abia Uwem B., Eyibara, Oghenehokoke U. & Okpoji, Awajiiroijana U · Asian Journal of Applied Chemistry Research · 2026

Seawater intrusion threatens groundwater availability in the coastal Niger Delta, Nigeria. This study assessed its extent by integrating hydrochemical indices with electrical resistivity techniques. Groundwater samples were collected from eight boreholes along an inland-to-coasta...

Open access Research Article 10.9734/ajacr/2026/v17i3408

Hydrogeochemical Characterisation and Assessment of Mineral–water Interaction in Aquifer Systems of the Niger Delta, Nigeria

Etukudo Nsikan J., Modestus Ohaegbulem, Oluyara Emmanuel T., Omuluche Collins O., Abia Uwem B., Okoro Mary Ugomma, Okpoji Awajiiroijana U., Otuuh Azubuike G., Kufre Iberedem & Madu Onyeka Emmanuel · Asian Journal of Geographical Research · 2026

Groundwater is an important source of water supply in the Niger Delta, and its chemistry reflects interactions between recharge water and aquifer materials. This study characterised the hydrogeochemistry of selected Niger Delta aquifer systems and assessed mineral–water interacti...
