SEISMIC CHRONOSTRATIGRAPHY: PROSPECTS IN PETROLEUM EXPLORATION

line-height:107%;font-family:" tahoma",sans-serif"="">Seismic survey has long become a trusted tool for hydrocarbon exploration. This is because of the outstanding ability of seismic reflections and their over lapping relationships to image deep and shallow subsurface structures and delineate promising structural and stratigraphic traps. These subsurface features become good prospecting targets, maybe because of their depositional history or post depositional events. With this in mind, it is...

Forensic Geophysics: Geophysical Techniques and Applications

line-height:115%">Forensic geophysics can be seen as that involving the use of geophysical methods in the search, locating and mapping of hidden or buried features underground or underwater. Geophysical methods have the potential to aid the search and recovery of a target because they can nondestructively and rapidly investigate large areas where a suspect, illegal burial or, in general, a forensic target or object is hidden in the subsurface.

EARTHQUAKE MONITORING AND SENSING IN NIGERIA

ABSTRACTThis study reviews earthquake monitoring and sensing in Nigeria. The techniques used to monitor earthquakes include seismic, Global position system (GPS) and remote sensingmethods. For now there is no scientific method of predicting earthquakes, butseismologists depend on the anomalous animal behaviour, radon emissions,trends, creep fault, drop/rise in the water level and anomalous plant behaviourfor earthquake prediction. The study also revealed that Nigeria is not seismicallyfree fr...

Analysis of the Causes of Road Failure in some parts of Nigeria (A Review)

ABSTRACTThis research assesses the various factors responsible for road failures in thesouthwestern and south-southern parts of Nigeria with the aim of reportingfindings to the public domain. The research further stressed the importance andrelevance of geophysics in evaluating civil engineering structures such asroads. The above goals were met by studying the results of surveys carried outby researchers in southern Nigeria. Electrical Resistivity and Electromagneticmethods have been used to e...

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AIRLINE FLIGHT INFORMATION SYSTEM (A CASE STUDY OF AIR NIGERIA, LAGOS STATE.)

ABSTRACTThis project was out of the necessity to address the inherent problems encountered by members of staff of Air Nigeria and their customers. The manual processes involved in the management of airline were critical examined and the flows noted. The software so designed offers to a great extent, the solutions to these problems. The project went further to ret the different techniques used in implementing the newly design software in order to facilitate a broader understanding of the desig...

A CASE STUDY OF TINEA PEDIS, AMONG NIGERIAN SOLDIERS IN ENUGU STATE

ABSTRACT Tinea pedis, a fungal infection of the feet, especially within the  toe webs and soles was studied using 40 soldiers (20men and  20women) as a case study. This infection is related to footwear  having been considered to be a new dermatophytoses. The  soldiers have the toe webs and soles cleaned with alcohol or  sterile water and the lesions scrapped with sterile scalpel and  placed between two glass slides with a drop of 10-20% kOH and then viewed under ...
