In this research, structures, geometries and directions of dominant stresses in the Abbar region (northwestern Iran) were examined. The fractures and lineaments of the area adequately matches to the brittle left-lateral shear zone model, and the two main fault systems of the area...
Igue Oke is located in the SW of Igarra Auchi sheet 266 SW, southwest basement complex of Nigeria. The rock types are made up of meta-sediments which includes marbles, migmatitic schists, meta-conglomerates, amphibolites, calc-silicate rocks which have undergone several deformati...
This study evaluated the quality of groundwater in the municipality of Abaetetuba (PA, Brazil 1°43'46'' S e 48°52'27'' W) based on the hydrogeological characterization and degree of vulnerability of the aquifer system. The municipality of Abaetetuba is practically all supplied by...
The state endowed with natural beauty, Uttarakhand, is analyzed in this study. The sustainable security of its social, ecological, economic aspects is measured using the sustainable livelihood security index framework. The state government is focusing on investments in hospitalit...
The samples of Awgu shale collected from Nnewi and Mgbowo in Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu state were analysed in the laboratory for such properties as linear shrinkage, moisture content and atterberg limits (plastic limit and liquid limit). The samples recorded moisture co...
The Ishiagu galena - sphalerite vein mineralization was investigated for its stable isotope composition to determine the characteristics and source of the mineralizing fluid. The δ34S of galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite range from -5.00/00 to -8.00/00, -2.00/00 to -4.90/00 and...
Integrated geotechnical and geophysical investigations was carried out in order to harness the cause of the incessant subsidence of road pavement along section of Portharcourt - Eket road Southern Nigeria. The geotechnical investigation involves boring of boreholes and collection...
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...
