The Western Indian Ocean (WIO) is one of the most dynamically active ocean regions globally, yet its multiscale interactions and collective influence on sea level variability, surface circulation, and mesoscale eddy activity remain unquantified across the full satellite altimetry era despite direct effect on regional climate prediction, coastal adaptation, and marine ecosystem management along the East African coastline. This study presents an integrated analysis across the tropical WIO (40˚...

Vegetation cover change is a key indicator of ecosystem health, soil moisture availability, and land degradation at global, regional, and local levels. Assessment of these changes is crucial to ensuring the sustainability of terrestrial ecosystems such as the Nzeeu River Catchment. The study aimed to determine land use and land cover changes, as well as drivers, in the Nzeeu River catchment for the period 2000 - 2023. The study employed a remote sensing workflow to analyze vegetation dynamics us...

Aeromagnetic data were employed to assess the tectonic stability of Geregu, one of the proposed sites for Nigeria’s nuclear power plant construction. This study utilized High Resolution Aeromagnetic (HRAD) data processed through horizontal gradient magnitude (HGM), analytic signal amplitude (ASA), and 3-D Euler Deconvolution, to generate lineament maps for evaluating regional tectonic stability. The map of the Total Magnetic Intensity indicates values ranging from ?106.2 nT to 179.7 nT. Analysis...

The deforestation has far-reaching effects on aerosol characteristics and climatic variables. Deforestation disrupts the local climate by altering temperature, aerosol optical properties, and impacting air quality. Further, it also modifies precipitation patterns at varied scales. Nevertheless, the long-term impacts of deforestation on climate variables and aerosol properties over Mau remain not very well explored, especially considering the context of altered natural emissions and anthropogenic...

This study investigates the gastropod diversity, relative abundance, and distribution pattern of the gastropods present in Dapya Island, Barangay Day-asan Surigao del Norte, Philippines. The sampling was done 2 - 3 days during the lowest low tide at daytime employing the transect-quadrat method and established three sampling stations. A total of 496 individuals distributed among 12 genera and 25 species of gastropods were identified in the study area during the sampling period. The three most ab...

Background: A neonatal infection is an infection occurring in a newborn during the first 28 days of life. It can be caused by various pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Methods: We conducted a historical cohort study at the N'djili General Reference Hospital. Our study included newborns who had been diagnosed with a neonatal infection based on maternal medical history and clinical criteria in the newborn. Results: In terms of gender, our study counte...

The geological lineaments and drainage patterns from the SRTM DEM data of the section of southwestern Nigeria, covering Oyo and Ogun states, were extracted in order to investigate the groundwater potential of the study region. The main objective of this study is to delineate the geological structure of the region, to enhance near-future groundwater exploitation of the region. The SRTM DEM data utilized in this study covers the latitudes 7'00？N to 8'00？N and longitudes 3'00？E to 4'00？E. The data ...

Biofertilizers present a viable solution for enhancing soil fertility, improving plant nutrition, and advancing environmental sustainability in agriculture and forest ecosystems. These microorganism-based fertilizers not only supply essential nutrients to plants but also foster soil health, thereby reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers. This review highlights various types of biofertilizers, such as mycorrhizal fungi, rhizobia, and compost, and examines their mechanisms of action and applic...

The spatial variability of groundwater storage in Nigeria was investigated using Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) data over 21 years (2003 and 2023). The spatial and temporal analyses of the data were conducted in Google Earth Engine (GEE) and Python to assess regional and national aquifer responses to environmental change. The time analysis of the data revealed high groundwater recharge rates from 1.2 mm/year (2003-2013) to 14.5 mm/year (2013-2023). Three hydrogeological regions wer...

This study presents the result of a quality assessment of some sachet water sold and consumed in Ishiagu. Four sachets from each Triplicate batch of the six different brands of 50 cL sachet water were sampled from commonly patronized retail shops by the inhabitants of the study areas, physically ex-amined and assessed for their physicochemical and microbiological param-eters using standard analytical procedures to ascertain the level of compli-ance with World Health Organization (WHO) and Nation...
