Abstract: Chad (Bornu) Basin is located within latitudes 9° 30`N and 13° 40`N, and longitudes 11° 45` E and 14° 45`E,Northeastern Nigeria, covering an area extent of about 23,000 square kilometres. And the aim of this study is to delineate the structural architecture of Chad (Bornu) Basin using 3D seismic data across the drilled well in the field. The method employed was basically on seismic attributes analysis based onthe reflection geometry, amplitudes, and continuity. The results generated shows that the basin has undergone different tectonic regimes which include rifting, subsidence, and basin inversion. These tectonic regimes controlled the deposition of the sedimentary formation within the basin, these formations are Bima Sandstone, Gongila Formation, Fika Shale, Kerri-Kerri Formation and Chad Formation. Extensional tectonic regime gave rise to the presence of normal faults.....

Abstract: Olkaria Geothermal Field is a high temperature geothermal system; the system is characterized by Quaternary volcanic centers in the central Kenya Rift Valley. The surface geology of OlkariaGeothermal Field is mainly dominated by commenditic lavas and pyroclastic. The aim of the paper was to develop a geo-thermometry and measured down-hole temperature profiles to identify feed-zones of OW 924A, OW 923A, OW917A, OW914B, OW731C, OW710C and OW39B wells. Using alteration mineralogy to interpret the paleo-temperature in a geothermal system and measured formation temperatures represent present state of geothermal systems. Alteration mineralogy curves plotted relied on the first appearance of alteration minerals observed in the wells namely chalcedony, quartz, wairakite, prehnite epidote and actinolite....

Abstract: Rongo Gold field forms part of the Lake Victoria greenstone belt and is a highly prospective area. However, it has to date been underexplored due to overburden which obscure the mineralized zones beneath. An electrical resistivity survey was used to detect gold bearing rocks and dense bodies of rocks within host formation in Kamwango area of Rongo district, Migori County. To achieve this, a terrameter (ABEM SAS 1000) was used to determine apparent resistivities using Wenner and Schlumberger configurations. For good vertical resolution, Wenner array was employed to map horizontal structures where a total of 30 stations were done with a probe depth of 45m. Values from Wenner array were used to plot a contour map using Surfer 10 software. The eastern....

Abstract: Background: Forests are one of the important lifelines on the earth and significantly important for the living being. Forest fire is one of the major reasons for the destruction of these valuable green shields. Previous time forest fire occurred due to climate change, but at present, the significant forest loss happened through anthropogenic activities. The damage is not only concerned about forest loss but also the terrestrial ecosystem. Every year the Himalayan forest is very much destroyed by the forest fire, the study area Bagheswar and Almora districts depict one of the victims of these human-induced acts. With the reinforcement of climate change, to monitor the present day scenario of the forest fire, remote sensing data plays an enormous role.........

Abstract: Analysis of high resolution aeromagnetic data was carried out to evaluate the groundwater potential zones of Lassa and environs northeastern Nigeria. The total magnetic intensity data covering the area were processed and filtered using the Polynomial fitting method and Spectral analysis. The polynomial fitting was used for regional residual separation to obtain the residual map which was later subjected to spectral analysis to computed depth to magnetic sources. The total magnetic intensity value varies from -193.775nT to 240.799nT and the residual magnetic intensity map varies from -166.740nT to 132.322nT respectively. The computed depth to magnetic sources indicates two source depth, the shallow and the deeper sources. The shallowmagnetic sources range from 0.23km to 0.62km and deeper magnetic sources from 0.55km to1.39km.The findings of the sudy revealed that the area is characterized in to low and high groundwater potential zones..

Abstract: Analysis of high resolution aeromagnetic data was carried out to evaluate the structural complexity of Duhu and adjoining areas, northeast Nigeria and its implication for mineral deposits. The total magnetic intensity data covering the areawas processed and filtered using Polynomial fitting method, Analytic signal and Pseudo-gravity. The polynomial fitting was used to carry out the regional residual separation to obtain the residual map. The analytic signalwas computed to enhance faults, fractures and folds. The lineament and corresponding rose plot show a dominate NE-SW trend with minor NW-SE and E-W structures within the study area. The northern and central parts of the area revealed high density of lineaments compared to the other parts of the study area,indicating areas that have been affected by high tectonic episodes. The lineaments are potential sites for mineral deposits. The pseudo-gravity map shows density variation of the study area and possible potential areas for non-magnetic/gravity controlled mineral deposits.

Abstract: This work involves detailed geological mapping of the Garin Papa area to evaluate kaolin mineralization and assess the physical and chemical properties of the kaolin for economic purpose. Scout pitting was carried out followed by close grid pitting of an area measuring 250 x 250m square. Samples collected were subjected to geochemical analysis. The geological mapping revealed that the area is underlain by reddish sandstones and the lateritic horizons of the Kerri-Kerri Formation. Three kaolin horizons, the whitish; the pinkish and the reddish varieties were encountered. Major geochemical analysis shows that the silica and aluminium are enriched with average values of 43.69% and 38.2% respectively while other oxides are depleted (Soda = 0.15%, potash = 0.07%, lime = 0.42%, magnesia = 0.08%, iron = 0.75% and titanium oxide = 1.05%).

Abstract: Background: Malufashi Area in Katsina State, northwestern Nigeria, is located in the Western basement Province of the country and the place lacks adequate information on the geological structures underlying it. The place lacks detailed information on the structural analysis and geologic mapping derived from high resolution geophysical data. This study was designed to define the lithology, boundary and the distribution of the rock types and delineate structures with potentials of hosting mineralization within the area. Materials and Methods: High resolution airborne magnetic data were employed in mapping the structures and defining the lithology within the area.....
