Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2017 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Geology, Mineralogy, Soil Science, grade: 5.0, , course: Geology, language: English, abstract: This study is aimed at determining the geology and depositional environment of Ameki Formation in Bende and environs through field descriptions, textural analysis and Palynological analysis. The mapped area which covers an area of about 180sq km and is located around Bende, southeastern Nigeria. The study area is bounded by Longitude 07° 30` E and 07° 43` E and Latitudes 05° 30` N and 05° 39` N. The area is underlain by Paleocene Imo Formation and Eocene Ameki Formation. The Ameki Formation is a clastic unit that overlies the marine Imo Formation and it consists of sandstone, shales, limestone, ironstone and siltstones. The Eocene Ameki Formation in southeastern Nigeria consists, in its type locality of five lithologic units; calcareous sandstone, pebbly bioturbated sandstone, grey-dark shale, argillaceous sandstone and pebbly sandstone. The floral, faunal and lithologic studies of the Eocene Ameki Formation suggest sediments deposited in a continuity from nearshore (barrier-ridge estuarine complex) to shallow marine (intertidal and subtidal zones) environment. The sieve analysis unveils that the univariate parameters indicate a fluvially intercepted shallow marine environment with tidal crosscuts, the log probability plots suggest tidal environment while from the bivariate plots; a beach influenced fluvial environment is interpreted. The pebble morphological analysis showed that the pebble clast have being shaped by beach action as revealed by the bivariate scatter plots of pebble form indices while in multivariate aspect a fluvially dissected shallow marine environment with tidal interferences was interpreted. The palynological analysis indicated a marginal marine source for the sediment and that the formation (Ameki) is Eocene in age.

Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Geology, Mineralogy, Soil Science, grade: 4.06, University of Nigeria, course: Geology, language: English, abstract: The study covers the areas around Ihe, a town in Awgu southeastern Nigeria. It lies within the Anambra Basin and is underlain by the Nkporo Group and Mamu Formation. Geologic field mapping involved outcrop description and lithofacies analysis. Laboratory studies include sieve analysis, paleocurrent analysis and pebble morphometry. These studies were carried out in order to interpret the paleodepositional environment of the rocks mapped. The lithofacies mapped consist of six lithofacies which include; Cross bedded sandstone facies, Shale facies, Structureless (massive) sandstone facies, Parallel laminated sandstone facies, bioturbated sandstone facies, and Ironstone facies. These lithofacies represents three facies association; FA1 - marine deposits, FA2 - shoreface deposits and FA3 - mouth bar deposits. This implies that the sediments were deposited within the marginal marine, shallow marine and marine environment respectively. The results from sieve analysis indicates that the sandstones are medium - coarse grained and poorly moderately sorted. Derivations from multivariate and bivariate sieve results depicts a fluvial setting. The pebble morphometry result also implies a fluvial setting. The paleocurrent analysis showed a unimodal pattern with provenance in the NW, possibly the western and northcentral basement complex area. A mean vector azimuth of 79.6o and a variance of 758.635o signified low sinuosity fluvial setting and southeasterly paleoflow direction. The integration of the results gotten from the various analysis interprets the paleodepositional environment of Ihe and environs to be a fluvial dominated marginal marine environment.

Book excerpt: Landscape architecture involves designing, planning, and managing natural and built environments. Its goal is to balance natural spaces with the human element. As such, new methods and analysis techniques are necessary for creating healthy and user-friendly spaces in both urban developments and natural environments. This book discusses these approaches to planning and designing natural spaces with a focus on sustainability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contains details on the geological units of Nigeria and the associated mineral resources. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 discusses the geology of the crystalline rocks and their regional distribution while the sedimentary basins constitute the subject of Part 2. Part 3 takes the mineral resources of Nigeria one on one, their geological environment, mode of occurrence, localities and where possible the reserves estimation. Thereafter, an account of the previous and current mining policies (including that of petroleum) of the Nigerian government is given and goes ahead to list some specific investment opportunities in the solid minerals sector.
