Characterization of Aquifers Using Electrical Resistivity and Induced Polarization Surveys in River Sosiani Sub-Catchment, Uasin Gishu County, Kenya

Gilbert Kiptanui,Mary Makokha,Christopher Shisanya
Freshwater is a critical resource for domestic and agricultural use, but its occurrence presents a challenge. Utilization of electrical resistivity methods in aquifer delineation underscores their importance in the field of hydrogeology. The Sosiani sub-catchment is a geologically complex area where saline groundwater has been sporadically encountered, and while the electrical resistivity method has been used for groundwater prospecting in the area, it has not been effective in distinguishing be...

Mining and Neighboring Communities: The Helter-Skelter Relations between the Twangiza Highland Open-Pit Mining and Local Communities, within a Context of Co-Existence with Small-Scale Mining and Progressive Ecological Rehabilitation

Lefranc Busane Basima,Jean-Berckmans Bahananga Muhigwa,Bertin Murhabale Cisirika,Alfred Kabagale Cubaka,Eric Kajemba
This paper focuses on the cooperation between Twangiza Mining, an industrial highland long-term open-pit gold mine, in the eastern part of the DR Congo, and neighboring communities. Various projects have been implemented, including: water supply, education, health care, infrastructure, ecological rehabilitation, humanitarian assistance, and sustainable income generation through income generating activities. Results show that most people in the local community used to live in aggravated poverty, ...

The Impact of Urban Expansion in Saidia on Urban Forests: A Case Study of Tazgrarte Forest

Adil Akallouch,Souad Tannouch Bennani,Mohamed Hamjik,Hossain Boudilab,Aziz Mahjoub
As of 2005, the city of Saidia has undergone substantial urban expansion, which has led to the Tazgrarte Forest, a major urban green space, not just for the citizens but also for tourists alike, to decline in urban forests. In this regard, this research aims to assess the differences in the forest cover of Tazgrarte Forest from the period of 2005-2025, concentrating on the impact of urban expansion at three critical points in time: 2005, 2015 and 2025. Forested area reduction and urban growth dy...

Research Progress of Geophysical Exploration on Goaf Areas in Shanxi Coal Mines

Jonathan Molo Jojo,Ngambua Ngambua Rene,Nathan Saye Teah,Pengfei Wang,Xintong Tian
Shanxi Province, a leading coal-producing region in northern China, holds abundant reserves of bituminous and subbituminous coal critical to the nation’s energy sector. However, extensive coal mining has left behind Goaf areas underground voids and fractured zones that pose serious safety hazards and environmental risks. These challenges require innovative approaches to ensure sustainable resource management and ecological protection. This work aims to enhance the exploration and management of G...

Dead Universe Theory: From the End of the Big Bang to Beyond the Darkness and the Cosmic Origins of Black Holes

Joel Almeida
In exploring the enigmatic characteristics of the cosmos, this article introduces the “Dead Universe” theory, a profound reimagining of cosmic genesis and structure. It posits that our current observable universe is not an isolated phenomenon but rather a consequence of a much larger, older universe that has undergone a comprehensive collapse. This predecessor, termed the “Dead Universe,” is theorized to exceed the observable cosmos in scale dramatically, enveloping it in a perpetual state of de...

Analysis of Registration and Processing of Seismological Data in the Republic of Armenia from 1991 to 1998

Avetisyan Andrey Mergevosovich,Burmin Valeriy Yurievich,Petrosyan Goharik Razmikovna
Determining the coordinates of earthquakes is a priority task in seismically active regions, the accuracy of which is subject to ever-increasing demands. The accuracy and completeness of the data determine the correctness of solving prognostic and structural problems of modern seismology, as well as problems of geodynamics of seismic regions. The work analyzes the registration and processing of Republic Armenia (RA) seismological data. It has been shown that the accuracy of processing Republic A...

Experimental Research on the Movement Patterns of Flat-Shaped Block in Debris Flows

Lei Feng
Geological disasters occur frequently in China, and large-scale debris flow events have caused serious threats to people’s lives and property. Debris flow has the characteristics of high density and high velocity, especially the presence of large block in debris flow, which makes debris flow a great threat to engineering structures. In order to investigate the movement patterns of flat-shaped block in debris flow, a small-scale flume experiment with precise control was carried out. In the experi...

Study of the in-Depth Extension of Geophysical Lineaments Deduced from Magnetic Data in an Oil Block: Case of Block 10B in the Central Basin (Democratic Republic of the Congo)

Ngambua Ngambua Rene, Shakeel Hussain, Nida Jabeen, Foutou Matsoulou Ray, Ashfaq Niaz
This paper aims to study the magnetic data collected in block 10B of the central basin in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This block includes lineaments mainly of internal geodynamic origin. This is work that further deepens knowledge of the lineaments of the central basin, although analyzes and maps for oil research purposes remain complex (location, detection techniques, and enhancements). The lineaments play great importance in mining prospecting than in oil prospecting. Because often the l...
