Geotechnical failures in basement terrains frequently result from insufficient subsurface characterisation, leading to differential settlement and structural damage. This study applies Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) to assess geotechnical suitability at Bolorunduro and environs, Ondo State, Southwestern Nigeria, underlain by the Precambrian Basement Complex. Twenty VES stations were...

Effective management of university campuses requires the integration of up-to-date spatial data on physical features with descriptive information and making this information accessible to users. Particularly at universities with campuses in different locations, enabling staff and students to access accurate information quickly depends on maintaining data within an organized and queryable...

The Hakkari–Yüksekova region is located within the tectonically active Eastern Anatolian–Iranian Plateau and is characterized by major structures including the Şemdinli–Yüksekova Fault Zone, Başkale Fault, and Bitlis–Zagros Thrust Belt. This study investigates the relationship between regional magnetic structure, active faults, and seismicity. The magnetic structure was evaluated using the...

The Guba–Khachmaz region is one of Azerbaijan’s most promising areas for the development of low- to medium-temperature geothermal resources. This study evaluates the hydrogeological characteristics, theoretical thermal capacity, and potential utilization pathways of the region’s thermal waters. Official hydrogeological data and published scientific sources were analyzed, while thermal-power...

The Bolu–Düzce region in northwestern Türkiye is characterized by intense tectonic and seismic activity associated with the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ). This study investigates the relationship between seismicity, active fault systems, and regional magnetic structure through an integrated analysis of earthquake and magnetic data. Seismicity is evaluated using M > 3.0 earthquakes recorded...

This study evaluates iron ore prospectivity in Itakpe and its environs, North-Central Nigeria, through the integration of high-resolution aeromagnetic data with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) within a GIS environment. High-resolution aeromagnetic data were processed to enhance magnetic anomalies and delineate subsurface geological features. Processing techniques included Reduction to...

Sri Lanka's gem industry still relies largely on traditional exploration knowledge. Scientific studies have focused on floodplain and valley-fill alluvial deposits, and high-energy landforms such as plunge pools remain poorly examined. Plunge pools are scour basins at the base of waterfalls and may trap dense minerals such as gemstones; nevertheless, has not been tested in Sri Lankan...

Land surface temperature (LST) is an important indicator for examining spatial variations in surface thermal conditions and their changes over time. Satellite observations enable consistent assessments of surface thermal patterns across extensive areas, while cloud-based processing facilitates the analysis of historical imagery through a standardized workflow. This study assessed summer LST...

Wettability is a key concept in petroleum engineering, referring to the ability of a fluid (such as oil) to adhere to and maintain contact with the surface of reservoir rock. Wettability alteration is a complex concept, and various methods and techniques may be employed depending on the specific conditions and characteristics of each reservoir and the oil it contains. In general, it may be...
