Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical Estimation of Geotherm for Multi Layer Model from Heat Flow Equation: A Case Study of Parts of Chad Sedimentary Basin, NigeriaEmujakporue Godwin OmokenuThe subsurface temperature distribution of part of Chad sedimentary basin has been determined by applying analytical solution for multi-layer-model in solving the 1-D steady state conductive heat flow equation. Four-layer model was adopted because the Chad basin is made up of four lithostratigraphies. In this model, equilibrium geotherm of the four layers was computed by considering each layer separately while … …Physics International, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 6 Oct 2017 · 8,314 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSequence Stratigraphic Analysis from Well Logs of an X-Field, Niger Delta, NigeriaGodwin Omokenu Emujakporue, Alphonsus Joseph EyoThe sequence stratigraphic analysis of the area was studied using well log information in order to determine the lithostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy, possible reservoir sands, age and depositional environment of the study area for opportunities that will support exploration program. The depositional environment penetrated by the wells interpreted from log signatures gave three major facies association. The blocky and coarsening upward (funnel … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 11 Jul 2016 · 13,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatus of Heavy Metals in Water and Sediment of the Meghna River, BangladeshMahmud Hassan, Mirza A.T.M. Tanvir Rahman, Badhan Saha, Abdul Kadir Ibne KamalThe pollution of river water and sediments by heavy metals has assumed serious problems due to their toxicity and accumulative behavior. The present study has been undertaken to assess the levels of heavy metals and the extent of pollution in the surface water and sediments from the Meghna river. Water and sediment samples were collected by the Standard Methods and, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 24 Nov 2015 · 12,835 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption of Nickel and Zinc by Residual SoilsNur ’Aishah Zarime, W. Y. Wan Zuhairi, Sivarama KrishnaSoil has long been utilized as low cost liner material to prevent contamination from leachate to groundwater media. To find a suitable soil material for this purpose is a great challenge. This study describes the potential use of residual soil to functions as engineered clay liner for waste disposal landfill in Malaysia. Three types of residual soils were investigated namely … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 5 Dec 2014 · 7,116 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSEDIMENT CORE SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS OF KAW LAKEDejene Alemayehu, Jason McAlister, William FoxThe Kaw Nation and Black land Research Center in July 2012 conducted a sediment core sampling from Kaw Lake. Kaw Lake is a reservoir constructed in 1976 by the Army Corps of Engineers for the purpose of water supply and recreation. It is located 11 miles east of Ponca City, Kay County, Oklahoma. This reservoir covers approximately 17,040 acres (69 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 15 Sep 2014 · 7,391 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDownstream Ecocide from Upstream Water PiracyMiah Muhammad AdelUpstream India and downstream Bangladesh share more than 50 international rivers. India has set up water diversion constructions in more than 50% of these rivers, the largest one being on the Bangladesh’s northwest upon the Ganges River, puts Bangladesh’s Gangetic ecosystem at stake. In some border rivers, India has set up groins on her side of river banks. Also, Indian … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 4 Sep 2012 · 9,067 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASSESSMENT OF SURFACE WATER QUALITY IN AN ARSENIC CONTAMINATED VILLAGEKumud C. Saikia, Susmita GuptaArsenic contamination of ground water has occurred in various parts of the world, becoming a menace in the Ganga-Meghna-Brahmaputra basin (West Bengal and Assam in India and Bangladesh). Recently arsenic has been detected in Cachar and Karimganj districts of barak valley, Assam, bordering Bangladesh. In this area coli form contamination comprises the major constraint towards utilization of its otherwise ample … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 31 Aug 2012 · 7,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Correlations Between Mercury Speciation and Dissolved Organic Matter in the Sediment of the Red SeaM. A. Wedyan, F. A. Ababneh, S. Al-RousanThis study addresses the correlations between Hg and organic matter in recent sediment; samples were collected from the Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea coasts (oligotrophic regions) during 2010. In the present study TOC analyzer was used to determine Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Total Nitrogen (TN) concentrations and the total amount of mercury (HgT) in sediment samples were analyzed by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 21 Jun 2012 · 6,795 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHistorical Changes in Polychlorinated Biphenyls Contaminated SedimentsViet D. Dang, David M. Walters, Cindy M. LeeProblem statement: PCBs contamination continues to pose a health risk to aquatic environments due to their recalcitrance and bioaccumulation. The Sangamo Weston/Twelvemile Creek/Lake Hartwell Superfund Site is an example of such a health risk as a result of PCBs discharged from a former capacitor manufacturing plant. We conducted a study in twelvemile creek (Clemson, SC, USA) to examine the temporal … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2012 · 7,077 accessesView PDFCite
