Towards a Geo-Classification of the Niger Delta for Highway Investment Costing Applications
Abstract: The study carries out a quasi-experimentation, as a basis of devising a spatial quantitative concept, delineating distinct geologic settings which would have differing cost implications for highway infrastructure development in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Three broad conceptual geomorphic boundaries, for the categorisation of Niger Delta soils in engineering geologic costing application, were discerned within this conceptual lens. The study further statistically explores the synthesised geo-zonation for differences in …

Tropospheric Variation of Point Refractivity Gradient and Geo-climatic Factor over a Coastal Location in Tropical Nigeria
Abstract: Accurate assessment of refractivity gradient and Geo-climatic factor is crucial for maintaining reliable radio signal propagation in clear-air environments. These parameters are essential for determining the fade margin necessary to ensure a stable and effective wireless radio link, given the unstable nature of the atmosphere through which the signals travel. It is crucial to have accurate knowledge of these characteristics, particularly at microwave antenna heights of around 70 meters, in …
