Abstract:

The study was set to examine the temperature trend in Nigeria's Niger Delta region, Nigeria using a descriptive research design. Six (6) States in the Niger Delta Region (Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo and Delta States [BRACED]) were selected for the study. The study utilized the annual temperature data gathered from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) Ts 4.06 at 5o x 5o latitude and longitude grids point. The results show that the Niger Delta region had a temperature of 26.3oC.The outcomes of the Mann-Kendall test revealed that a considerable rising trend exists in temperature in Ba

Abstract:

The objective of this research is to determine the actual source of organic matter in the Niger Delta Sea Shelf (NDSS). Organic carbon (OC) and n-alkanes were investigated in the suspended matter (SM) and surfcial sediments of the Niger and Imo Rivers and the opposite Niger Delta Sea Shelf. Organic nitrogen and carbon isotope (δ13C) values were determined as additional parameters in the sediments. OC and n-alkane concentrations were highly variable. This variability was interpreted as the result of sources of materials from the inland basins and a complex sedimentation pattern involving the di

Abstract:

Despite modern advances in the study of rivers globally, there remains a plethora of work to be done especially in the area of fluvial sedimentology of some present-day river systems. Previous studies on fluvial sedimentology of the sediments of the river Ethiope (in southern Nigeria) are meagre. Grain size analytical methods are indispensable to infer siliciclastic sediments' hydrodynamic conditions, transportation mode(s), and sedimentary environments. Twenty-eight samples (n=28) of the river Ethiope sediments were selected and studied using granulometric analyses (mechanical sieving and peb

Abstract:

Flooding is recurrent in Nigeria, occurring yearly at different scales. This geared the need for a study to reveal local government areas (LGAs) that are at risk and vulnerable to flooding. The multi-criteria approach was adopted, using geospatial techniques and data. Factors considered were elevation, slope, rainfall intensity, and distance to river. The factors were classified, reclassified, rated, and weighed in a systematic process. Nineteen states and 114 LGAs face high risks, especially communities in the Niger Delta, around the lagoons of Lagos, along River Niger, Benue, and the Cross-R

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to analyse the shoreline movement of the Niger delta, specifically focusing on the spatial pattern of the delta’s shoreline behaviour during 1986–2019. We employed satellite data of medium spatial resolution (20–30 m) to delimit the delta shorelines representing specific time in order to determine the rates of the delta shoreline migration. Our results show that the delta shoreline has changed nearly in equal proportion between erosion (50.3%) and accretion (49.7%), at mean (maximum) rates of 3.9 m/yr. (26 m/yr.) of erosion, and 4.0 m/yr. (27 m/yr.) of accretion.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Using the basis that communities having high biodiversity are inherently more valuable as an ecological resource, the authors have derived a preliminary system of classifying the tropical environments of the oil-producing delta regions of Nigeria based on a number of field-collected parameters that measure the degree of biodiversity as well as potential spill persistence and difficulty of cleanup. Physical parameters to be measured include type of substrate, presence of near-surface groundwater and inhibiting layer, and extent of surface debris. Biological parameters include tree dens

Abstract:

In the course of European imperial expansion, movement was done through rivers to penetrate the interior of Africa and establish colonial rule, thereby promoting commercial and industrial development at the expense of Africans. Following the British imperial penetration of the Nigerian area and the military conquest of its peoples, they utilized navigable rivers from the South to the North in the transportation of goods and services to a number of port-towns for redistribution and consumption in the hinterland. European manufactured goods were brought to the Nigerian coastal areas, including B

Road construction and maintenance are key interventions that support economic potential in the country. However, the deplorable state of some roads in Nigeria, and in Cross River and Akwa Ibom states draws research concerns. This paper seeks to examine the impact of the Niger Delta Development Commission Intervention on road construction and economic activities in Cross River and Akwa Ibom States, Nigeria. Using the Sustainable Development Framework, a survey research design was employed, gathering data from 400 respondents across both states. The chi-square statistical technique was used to t

The present study assessed the impact of water quality on public health challenges of residents in the Niger Delta basin. Mixed research design was adopted in this study. Nun River, Sagbama River, Andoni River, New Calabar River and Forcados River were purposively selected for the study. Grab method was used to collect the water samples. In each selected rivers selected, three water samples were collected at three different sampling points. The sampling points were about 500meters apart from each other. Samples were collected against the flow of the water, where any flow was discernible. Water

Abstract:

Artisanal fisheries in the Niger Delta and Nigeria’s coastal waters support the livelihood of its inhabitants, thus management of water pollution has public health significance for the regions and beyond. Oil Spills and contaminated runoff from the hinterland always find their way to the coast via the extensive network of rivers and creeks across the delta. This is a major cause of marine pollution in the region. With this understanding there is a need to map and model the dynamics of oil pollution across the coastal waters of the Niger Delta, thereby providing evidence and data support for th

Abstract. An evaluation of vulnerability to sea level rise is undertaken for the Niger Delta based on 17 physical, social and human influence indicators of exposure, susceptibility and resilience. The assessment used geographic information systems (GIS) techniques to evaluate and analyse the indicators and the index of coastal vulnerability to floods, if sea level rise conditions are occurring. Each indicator value is based on data extracted from various sources, including remote sensing, measured historical data series and a literature search. Further on, indicators are ranked on a scale from

A study on the catch composition and diversity of cast net fisheries was conducted between May and August, 2017 in the New Calabar River, Rivers state, using cast net of varying mesh sizes (1.5mm and 2.5mm). Fish samples were collected from three sampling stations, viz. Station1- Aluu, Station 2- Choba and Station 3- Iwofe. The fish species recorded comprised of 26 species under 11 families, and one decapod crustacean. The three most abundant species were; Coptodon guineensis (25.11%), Coptodon zilli (18.56%) both from the Cichlidae family, and Penaeus nitialis (10.90%) from the Penaeidae fami

The study area Burutu lies within the transitional environment of the Niger delta. The area is sectioned by a compact network of rivers and creeks, which maintain a fragile but dynamic balance between saline, estuarine and freshwater surface bodies. Twenty direct current resistivity soundings were carried out to provide adequate information on the spatial lithological variation and groundwater conditions in Burutu. Resistivity contrasts and water analysis were used as a means of characterizing probable lithology and water type present within the pore spaces of aquiferous units. The results rev
