Aim: To examine the role of geotechnical investigations in enhancing the safety and sustainability of hydropower projects. Objectives: The objectives are to examine the concepts, relevance and procedures of geotechnical investigations in hydropower projects. Discussion: Geotechni...
The goal of the present study is to identify and delineate the mineralization zones and depths of prospective mineral occurrences in Shanga (sheet 96), parts of the northwest Nigerian basement complex, by analyzing aeromagnetic data. This was accomplished by reducing the residual...

Nigeria is not a country chiefly linked with earthquake. However, there have been records of earthquake occurrences in the past. This dismissed the old believe that the country was aseismic. Even though Nigerian’s seismic activity lies between moderate and low, seismicity in the...

Municipal solid waste quantification and characterization form the cornerstones of an effective solid waste management strategy but in Nigerian universities, the necessary processes of collection, transportation, characterization, and disposal are terribly understudied and rarely...
Water, whether used for the purpose of drinking, irrigation, domestic purposes, has an important impact on health. Although pollution can occur naturally, it is anthropogenic (man-induced) pollution that creates more problems. These activities include agriculture, fishing, sand m...
Comparing the physicochemical properties, heavy metals concentration and metal pollution index (MPI) of collected ten (10) wastewater samples in Kushtia and Jhenaidah municipalities, Bangladesh is the prime object of this manuscript. The levels of dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemic...
The assessment of the aquifer vulnerability and groundwater potential of Umudim, Okpunoeze, Umudimkwa and Okpunoegbu all in Nnewi town of Anambra state southeastern Nigeria was carried out. An electrical resistivity survey using vertical electrical sounding (VES) employing a Schl...
CO2 sequestration and storage are parts of the approaches to mitigate the effect of global warming through the reduction and stabilization of CO2 emitted in the atmosphere. In the Niger Delta, several depleted and abandoned wells can be utilized as geologic storage for CO2 to ass...
One of the factors needed to unravel hydrocarbon accumulations, volumetric computation and reservoir performance in a field is to have the proper view and understanding of the environment of depositions and the age of deposited sediments. Some fossils such as the foraminifera spe...
The high cost of deepwater developments and the limited reach from offshore platforms requires operators to have a good understanding of the sand development in delineating reservoirs using Direct Hydrocarbon Indicator. The key aim of this study was to undertake a seismic‐scale q...
The Deepwater environment of the Niger Delta Basin is one of the hydrocarbon exploration frontiers believed to be promising and highly prolific if properly harnessed. Some of the reservoir units are affected by multi-scale compartmentalization resulting from structural, stratigra...

The concept of sequence stratigraphy in explaining sediment accumulation and preservation trends within basin fills has become a highly successful exploration tool in the search for hydrocarbon resources. The sequence stratigraphy of OML XY block, Niger delta study approach invol...
This study was conducted to evaluate the quality of water of “16-Tishreen Dam” Lake located in Lattakia Governorate. During two different periods in 2022, water samples were collected from ten points distributed across the entire lake. Samples were subjected to physical and chemi...
This hydrogeophysical study was carried out in order to proffer solutions to inadequate water supply plaguing Obanla-Obakekere, in the campus of Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) Nigeria. The depth sounding method engaged the Schlumberger configuration. Three to five...
