Urbanization has destroyed wetlands globally, and in the Niger Delta area surge in human population has led to increased encroachment into wetlands area resulting in habitat destruction. This research aims to determine the impact of urbanization on selected wetland areas at Eagle Island, Rivers State. The study was carried out between April 2023 and... Continue here
Southern Mubi is highly susceptible to flooding and river bank erosion. Understanding the community's vulnerability to these hazards is crucial for implementing effective mitigation measures. The study was conducted in the most vulnerable regions of Mubi along the stretch of the Yedzeram River (Gudu, Duvu/Girburum, Nasarawo and Dirbishi/Gandira communities).... Continue here
This study examined semi-unconsolidated surface outcrop samples from three different localities within the Agwu Formations of the Lower Benue Trough (SE Nigeria). This paper focuses on the palynology, petrographic composition and depositional conditions of the three areas by using Quartz, Feldspar and Lithics (QFL system) petrography, including quartz ratios, and...

The Tohamiyam area is located in the Red Sea Hills in East Sudan. Remote Sensing and GIS investigations were carried out in the study area using the ASTER data on VNIR and SWIR in mineral prospecting. It has increased recently because of its relatively low cost, broad coverage, and unique integral bands, susceptible to alteration minerals. The study aimed to... Continue here
Palynological results have been employed in interpreting the distribution of palynomorphs from mangrove swamps in the Eagle Island section of the New Calabar River, recent sediments from fifteen locations in the area were palynologically examined. The results record about forty per cent in abundance of palynomorphs, it shows that the pollen from mangroves was... Continue here
