FLOOD HAZARD MAPPING OF THE LOWER BENUE RIVER BASIN Open
Flooding is a recurrent and intensifying hazard in West Africa, exacerbated by climate variability, land use change, and limited flood management infrastructure. This study assesses flood hazard dynamics in the Lower Benue River Basin (LBR…

Anatomy of Niger and Benue river sediments from clay to granule: grain-size dependence and provenance budgets, Nigeria Open
This study explores in detail the complexity of textural–compositional relationships in fluvial sediments. To this aim, fifteen size fractions (from clay to granule) of three sediment samples characterized by virtually identical size distr…

Assessment of vegetation cover dynamics in the agro-ecological Zones of Nigeria Open
The drastic vegetation loss of about 22% in 12 years across agro-ecological zones (AEZs) in Nigeria, which can be attributed to the impact of climate and anthropogenic activities on vegetation dynamics within the context of socio-economics…

Urban flood vulnerability mapping of part of the Lagos metropolis Open
Flooding is the most common of all environmental hazards with vast devastating effect due to enormous losses to lives and properties world-wide, annually. Thus, the effect of extreme flooding is dramatic, not only at the individual househo…

Quality of water resources in the Niger basin and in the region of Lagos (Nigeria) Open
Water quality studies in Nigeria are usually conducted at local scales and limited to a restricted number of chemical contaminants, while reliable data on trace metal concentrations (including arsenic) are relatively scarce. This study foc…

Groins or Not: Some environmental challenges to urban development on a Lagos coastal barrier island of Lekki Peninsula Open
Worldwide, barrier islands which protect mainland areas are usually sedimentary, dynamic and in great demand for urban development. Intense development on them negates their dynamics leading to risks which necessitate protective measures s…
