Rapid Estimation Of Heavy Metals In Crude Oil Contaminated Soils By X-ray Fluorescence (xrf) Spectroscopy
Crude oil exploration and exploitation activities in the Niger Delta, Nigeria have caused the contamination of numerous land sites. A total of 45 sub-surface soil samples were collected from three genuinely crude-oil spill sites and their heavy metal concentrations were measured using X-Ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The range of measured heavy metal... Continue here

Polyphasic Tectonic History Of The N70° Dasa Graben (northern, Niger)
Located in northern Niger, the N70° DASA graben is a trough discovered recently in the Tim Mersoï basin. In this study, a tectonic history of the DASA graben was presented based on the combined use of satellite imagery, field observations and measures, available literature and borehole data. These data were used to analyse the sedimentary facies and the... Continue here

An Assessment Of Soil Contamination In And Around Mpape Dumpsite, Federal Capital Territory (fct), Abuja Nigeria
Landfills are supposed to be the best and safest methods of waste disposal. The Mpape dumpsite was used as landfill for FCT, but did not meet the criteria for landfill construction. Evidences of pollution abound over two decades and now that the site has been closed down, there is need for a study to evaluate the level of pollution with time. This study assessed...

Review Of Variability Of Radiogenic Heat Properties Of Some Rock Types As A Basis For Geothermal Characterization In Nigeria
The southwestern part of Nigeria is one of the three known regions in Nigeria with geothermal prospect. It is characterized by distinctly different thermal state and surface thermal manifestations. Although a number of geophysical explorations have been undertaken, but studies on fundamental geothermal theory remain scarce, including a lack of high-quality heat... Continue here

Detection Of Unconsolidated Zones In Coal Mining Site Using Resistivity Data At Odagbo Area, Kogi State, Nigeria
A coal mining site at Odagbo area located in Kogi State, Nigeria, was investigated using resistivity data to detect unconsolidated zones, majorly caused by the mining of coal seam deposit. The resistivity measurement was carried out with the aid of ABEM Terrameter SAS 4000 and electrode selector equipment (ES 464). The resistivity data was acquired along three (3)... Continue here

Kinematic Evolution Of The Pan-african Shear Zones Of South Maradi, Southern Niger
The Pan-African Province (PAP) of south Maradi (Niger) corresponds to the northeastern part of the Benin-Nigerian Shield, which is part of the Pan-African Mobile Belt, located to the East of the West African Craton. This study focuses on the microstructural study supported by geochronological data of the South Maradi Pan-African shear zones. The structural... Continue here
