Abstract: The residual effect of topographic modeling (RTM) was calculated for the continental region of the Rio Grande do Sul state, using 3,510 points from a 5'x5' spherical arc grid, based on the ETOPO1 global relief model, in association with lateral density models UNB_TopoDens (global) and Harkness (average global density: 2670 kg/m³). The mathematical model employed was Newton’s equation for a point mass.For each of the 3,510 RTM points, a neighborhood of points within a 210 km radius was considered. The RTM values calculated for the two different density models exceeded 2 mm, emphasizing the importance of RTM consideration in high-precision altimetric studies.
Keywords: RTM; Newton’s integral; Lateral density; Global model; Physical heights.

Abstract: Vertical electrical resistivity survey was carried out at Agbura in Bayelsa State to investigate the groundwater potential of the area. ABEM Terrameter SAS-1000 was used, employing Schlumberger Electrode Configuration. Maximum half-current electrode spread AB/2 of 1 m to 133 m was used while the potential electrodes separation MN/2 was maintained between 0.25 m to 5.00 m. The VES curve was quantitatively interpreted by computer iteration techniques using IP2Win computer software. The result of the interpreted geo-electric survey delineated a cross-section of six geo-electric units before the seventh infinite layer goes to infinity hence its geo-electric parameters are considered artefacts.......

Abstract: Thirty-four sediment samples were gathered from El-Hamrawein Harbour area. The investigating area sediments are composed of 84.86% sand fraction. The gravel fraction ranged from 0.00 to 46.54% and averaged 6.71%. Mud fraction varied from 0.00 to 32.39% and averaged 8.44%. The majority of samples were gathered from deep depths of the area contain a significant amount of mud fraction. This is a result of landfilling and dredging in the harbour area, additional to phosphate ore shipment activities. The carbonate content ranged.......

Abstract: Geotechnical investigation of sub-soil for disaster risk reduction and its use as support for foundation of civil infrastructures and gas processing plant to prevent building collapse at Ovade-Ogharefe was carried out to determine the safe bearing capacity of the soil materials and to recommend suitable foundation design options. Twelve soil samples were collected from 6 boring locations using the Shell-and-Auger Percussion Rig to depth of 20m where undisturbed and disturbed samples were taken at regular intervals of 1.50m. Two soil zones of Brownish Lateritic Clayey-Sand and Grayish well-graded Sands and Gravels were identified. Results of the Atterberg limit of clay samples.......

Abstract: This research paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the geothermal geochemistry of hot springs in India, focusing on two distinct regions: the tectonically active Extra-Peninsular Himalayan region and the relatively stable Late-Precambrian mobile belts of Peninsular India. Utilizing multivariate statistical techniques, particularly Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Trend Surface Analysis (TSA), the study investigates approximately 340 hot springs by examining their geochemical data. The PCA results identify five significant factors that account.....
