This research presents a detailed study of the pre-Santonian sandstones of the Asu River Group and the Eze-Aku Formation exposed in southeastern Nigeria. Intensive field studies complimented with laboratory thin section petrography, X-ray diffraction (XRD), porosity and permeabil...
Litho- and foraminiferal biostratigraphic studies were carried out on the Lower Miocene siliciclastic Pyawbwe Formation exposed at Sakangyi area, Myanmar. The investigated planktonic and benthonic foraminiferal species showed great similarities and close affinities to those of th...
This study was conducted to evaluate the variation of earthquake focal depth in parts of Oceanic Ridges. The data set for this work were extracted from the International Seismological Centre (ISC), Pipers Lane, Thatcham, Berkshire, United Kingdom. The selected data consisted of e...
There is an increasing incidence of road failures in Southwestern Nigeria. Many asphalt roads have failed sections soon after construction and rarely reach their design life span before major repair is required. The aim of this study is to conduct geotechnical properties of sub-...
The study investigates the geological and geochemical characterization of rocks in an area of about 21 km2 in vicinity of Kuta North Central Nigeria with a view to identify the relationship between the rock units, the petrographic characteristics of the rock assemblages, their or...
Inhabitants of Girinya are unable to access potable water supply. The existing five boreholes were initially productive only during rainy season. They are now totally unproductive. Only three of existing forty-five hand-dug wells yield water all year now. Thus it is expedient to...
The quest to meet the required groundwater need of citizens of Nigeria, especially Central Kwara State for both domestic and industrial application in the face of scarce water resources, occasioned by incessant borehole failure/low yield, has prompted researches for viable source...
This research show the significance of deep seated lineament in groundwater investigation around Ilesha, Osun State in a basement complex terrain using satellite imagery remotely sensed and aeromagnetic dataset. This hydrogeological investigation involved the extraction of linea...
Determining thresholds are very useful and efficacious in hydrothermal alteration mapping because of their association with mineral deposits. Thus, quantifying the degree of association can serve as a reliable and definitive way of separating highly to less altered zones. This ca...
Laterite occurrences at three locations in Akure metropolis, Ondo State, southwestern Nigeria were characterized geochemically and geotechnically in order to evaluate their potentials as subgrade and subbase/base civil engineering foundation material. The geochemical analysis emp...
Grain-size analysis of aquifer sand samples from Yenagoa was carried out by the mechanical sieving technique. Using the grain-size analysis curves, mean representative grain diameters d10 and d60 were determined and porosity was derived from the empirical relationship between por...
