Abstract: The present research aims to identify the geological structure of Kelud, Kasinan-Songgoriti, and Arjuno-Welirang, East Java Province based on remote sensing data, i.e. SRTM DEM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission and Digital Elevation Model) data. The results of the SRTM DEM analysis revealed the pattern of lineament related to faults and fractures as a path of thermal fluid displacement. Lineament interpretation from SRTM DEM data was based on FFD (Fault and Fracture Density) map. The regions included in the classification of the most dominant line structures were Kelud volcano in Kediri Regency, Kawi-Butak to Jombok-Pujon in......

Abstract: In some part of Bida metropolis, the amount of solid wastes generated is on the increase due to population growth and due to the absence of modern engineered landfill. The wastes are dumped on the land surface without proper knowledge of the hydrochemistry, hydrology and geology of the dumpsites with regards to the movement of contaminants into the subsurface. The transport of contaminants from selected dumpsites into the groundwater body in Bida is the aim of this study and was undertaken by carrying out groundwater inventory studies for 130 hand dug wells identified in the area combined with sieve analysis of soil samples collected beneath the dumpsites.The groundwater inventory results revealed the average depth of wells in the area is approximately 11.0m........

Abstract: Stress accumulation near earthquake generating fault system during the aseismic period in a seismically active region becomes a subject of research during the last few decades. Mathematical models have been formulated to study the effect on the nature of stress accumulation due to interactions of neighbouring faults. Two interacting, finite strike-slip faults, situated in a viscoelastic half-space representing the Lithosphere-Asthenosphere system, is considered here. The strikes of the faults are not parallel here. Stresses and strain accumulation in the region due to various tectonic processes, such as mantle convection and plate movements etc. ultimately tends to movements across the faults. In the present paper, analytical expressions for displacements, stresses and strain have been obtained..........

Abstract: Land use and land cover changes have been identified as one of the main human induced activities altering environmental systems. This is because of the ability of anthropogenic activities to cause land degradation, loss of biodiversity, global warming, flooding as well as groundwater quantity and quality. Like other parts of the world, arid and semi-arid areas in Kenya has been experiencing rapid land use and land cover changes over the past few decades due to changes in land policy, change in sedentary lifestyles, population growth and urbanization. An assessment of land use and land cover changes that have taken place over a period of 33 years was carried out in the Stony Athi sub-catchment between January 2018 and June 2018. The study was done using a remote sensing approach on a geographical information system platform. The widely used parametric classifier, the supervised maximum likelihood classification, was used to classify four satellite images for the years.......

Abstract: Well log data helps compute rock attributes, show correlations with reservoir properties and act as control datafor seismic data interpretation.The aim of this studyis to analyse and identify rock attributes robust in fluid and lithology discrimination of hydrocarbon reservoirs for seismic data interpretation and reservoir characterization. Rock physics analysis was used to determine the significance of rock attributes, establish relationship between the rock attributes and reservoir properties and identify robust attributes applicable in characterizing reservoir.The cross-plotresults show that acoustic impedance (Ip), poisson ratio (σ), compressional to shear velocity ratio (Vp/Vs), rigidity (μρ) and incompressibility (λρ) rock attributes are robust as fluid and lithology discriminators. The λρ and Vp/Vs ratio are more sensitive to fluid content, while σ and μρ to rock matrix.The μρ vs λρ cross.........

Abstract: Eburru area lies in the Kenya's rift valley which has several geothermal heat sources. Spectral analysis of ground magnetic data was done to determine the curie point isotherm depth for Eburru study area. Magnetic data in Eburru study area was collected by proton precession magnetometer. Diurnal correction and geomagnetic correction were applied to the raw magnetic data to obtain residual magnetic data. Residual magnetic data was transferred to Oasis montaj software for spectral analysis and interpretation.Oasis Montaj MAGMAP was used to generate radially averaged energy spectrum. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) was used to convert the space domain grid data to the Fourier wavenumber domain where filters were applied. Results from spectral analysis revealed a curie point isotherm.........

Abstract: Air pollution constitutes the largest among all of the environmental risks: Pollutants such as TSP, SO2, CO and NO2 were measured in association with meteorological parameters. The average wind speed within the dry season was 0.78m/s, while the average wind speed at wet season is 1.53m/s. Average temperature observed within the study area is 26.350C in wet season and 33.20C in dry season. Trans Amadi, Rumuosi Junction, Choba Junction and Eliozu Flyover record highest temperatures of 34.050C, 33.350C, 31.050C, 31.550C respectively. From the analysis of the result gotten from data collation in this work, the measured concentration of TSP,NO2, SO2 and CO, at Igbo Etche Junction, Choba, Rumuomasi, and Trans-Amadi are higher than those stipulated by Federal Ministry of Environmental and National Ambient Air Quality Standards. With an average concentration.........
