Abstract: The geology of the Zongor area comprises of migmatites that appears to have undergone varying degree of metamorphism and multiple phases of deformation. This has resulted in preservation of original protolith structures such as foliation in some parts of the study area and absence of such structures in other parts of the study area. The geochemistry of these rock suites is analyzed using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) geochemistry which allows for quantitative determination of major and trace elements. The geochemical signatures of the migmatites are typically continuous within the diatexites but show a slight variation from the metatexite (stromatic......

Abstract: Hydrogeological survey of Ado Ekiti a Precambrian basement terrain consisting of migmatite- Gneiss, Quartzite complex was carried out using electrical resistivity survey method. One hundred and four Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) were conducted with Ohmega campus terrameter while WINRESIT Software was used to process the field data and analyzed with surfer 13 mapping software. The result revealed lithological sequence of Top soil, clay soil, lateritic soil, weathered layer, fractured basement and fresh basement with KH-curve type (25%) as most dominant in the study area. Dar Zarouk parameters of longitudinal resistance, transverse resistance were used to estimate hydraulic conductivities (K) (m/day), transmissivity(m2/day) and.......

Abstract: Background:The choice of wadi Elguelta makes it possible to study the effect of anthropization, lithology, geomorphology and hydrology on the composition of the surface sediments of the area. In order to establish this relationship, outcrop samples were taken from the soils at seven different points. The choice of places took into consideration their position in relation to the minor bed of the Wadi Elguelta '.
Materials and Methods: Various measurements were carried out such as: the pH, the electrical conductivity, the organic matter content as well as the mineral element concentration.

Abstract: Anthropogenic Climate change since industrial revolution is an accepted reality. In the last 100 years Earths' temperature has go up by 0.70C. A 30C rise in Earth's temperature will make the planet unlivable. Soaring Carbon dioxide emissions remain the major contributor for GHG and it takes around 30 years to remove 50% of increased CO2 from the atmosphere. Primary source of CO2 emission is due to burning of fossil fuels for Global Energy requirements. The 1988 UN general assembly resolution and 'Paris Agreement' within United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 2016 has given clear cut aim to humanity of holding increase of global average temperature below 20C above pre-industrial levels to save our planet..

Abstract: Water scarcity has been a grave problem recently. Proper management and distribution of water have become indispensable to tackle this problem. River basin is a watershed and its management is essential to ensure the quantity and quality of its water. Study area has been underlined by Deccan Basalt lava flows. dug well and bore well samples from different parts of the Kasari River Basin have been collected and different physicochemical parameters have been analyzed to assess drinking quality of groundwater. The analysis of 42 water samples from Kasari river basin was carried for 14 parameters viz., pH, EC, TDS, TH, Ca, Mg, Na, K, CO3, NO3, HCO3, Cl, and SO4 for both seasons pre and post monsoon of the year 2018. All samples have values of different parameters within permissible limit and are fit for drinking purpose.

Abstract: Channel pattern usually varies from place to place on different type landforms, climatic condition, and environment, relates to the plan view of a reach or entire river indicating sinuous, meandering, braided, and straight channels. As a floodplain riverine country most of the rivers are vibrant and Bangladesh experiences frequent hydrologic and geomorphologic events. Present study intends to analyze the dynamics of Dharla river channel in Bangladesh over time (1978-2018) through channel sinuosity ratio and braided index. Life and livelihood of people specially in the northern region of Bangladesh are largely reliant on this river and its' characteristics. Here satellite imageries, collected from earth explorer United States Geological survey (USGS), used to interpret, and delineate morphological variables. Different parameters such as, channel straight-line length or distance; parallel distance of river, valley length, bar formation, deposition for each year have measured from satellite......

Abstract: The article shows that in the Black Sea area, in the agenda for the community of researchers, research groups, for Romania's offshore deposits, in our opinion it is necessary to focus innovative research on models and ways of conceptual, technical-technological and operational approach to exploitation, the recovery of marine oil and natural gas deposits. The authors find that the insufficiency or inaccuracy of a Strategy, compared to the tactical practices of offshore exploration-exploitation, are not characterized by irrationality, but they manifest themselves as appreciative eventualities, in the situation where the tools for "measuring" the Strategy in general are missing. The article examines performance and flexibility in the process of offshore exploration-exploitation in the Black Sea Basin. It is concluded that flexibility in the process of offshore exploitation is a techno-eco-legal "post-finality", in fact, with an acceptance of industrial-economic variability (mining / oil) allowed, including in the offshore field.

Abstract: The Lower Cretaceous Abu Gabra Formation (Albian-Aptian) is major source rocks that widespread in the region consisting of mainly rich shale and claystone with minor sandstone. In this study, a total of 77 cuttings samples of Abu Gabra rich shale and claystone sediments from five boreholes in the Fula sub-basin were subjected to Source Rock Analyzer (SRA), Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis, Pyrolysis–Gas Chromatography (Py-GC), conventional Soxhlet extraction procedure as well as vitrinite reflectance measurements. This was done to determine the organic matter quantity, quality (kerogen Type) and thermal maturity with evidence of suppression of thermal maturity within the study area. Based on these analyses, the hydrocarbon generation potential as indicated by the TOC content in the formation shows significant variation in organic matter quantity........
