Applied Physics of Air-Sea-Land Interaction during Hurricane Katrina
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 15 Issue: 2 A decade ago in August 2005 Hurricane Katrina devastated north-central Gulf of Mexico and southeastern Louisiana and Mississippi Gulf Coast. Although nearly all anemometers in the affected areas were destroyed by Katrina, few wind and wave measurement stations did survive the storm and provide some data to advance our understanding of the physics of air-sealand interaction. Analyses of t...

Peat Resources, Paleo-Environmental Interpretation as well as Their Utilization, Hakaluki Haor, Moulvibazar and Sylhet District, Bangladesh.
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 15 Issue: 2 The study area is the Hakaluki Haor which is the second largest wet land of Bangladesh. It spans over the districts of Moulvibazar and Sylhet in northeast Bangladesh. The study was focused in the exploration of peat reserve, reconstruction of the paleo-environment as well as the utilization of the peat resources. Peat is found randomly from 0.5 m to 7 m below the surface and 1 m to 11 m ...

Architecture as Stimulus for Growth and Economic Development in Nigeria.
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 15 Issue: 2 Architecture and design constitute one of the major economic growth areas in any country. Nigeria increasingly needs to compete in knowledge, development and innovation. Such and all human activities are carried out within some form of shelter or organized open spaces which are contributions or products of architecture to the built environment and the economic growth of the nation. This ...

Effects of Flood on Infrastructural Development in Uyo Metropolis, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 15 Issue: 2 The increased intensity of infrastructural development in Uyo metropolis has given rise to land sites that have larger portions of non – permeable surfaces. A problem caused by little or no drainage and in some cases overloaded drainage infrastructure. This situation combined with the intense rainfall in the city gives rise to flooding in different locations. Flooding be...

Relations between Sea Surface Roughness, Wind Speed at 10m, and Wave Parametersduring a Tropical Cyclone
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 15 Issue: 1 Measurements of wind and wave parameters during Hurricanes Kate and Lili and Typhoons Man-Yi and Krosa are analyzed. It is found that the wave characteristics are similar in both hurricane and typhoon. Relations amongst sea surface roughness, wind speed at 10m, and wave parameters are also formulated and presented for engineering applications. ...

A Multiplier Approach to Power Generation for Remote Tropical Regions
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 15 Issue: 1 Multiplier effects can be relevant for evaluating alternative ways of generating electricity, especially in remote regions, were the superior method might be different from the method that would be chosen in a location near transport hubs. Remote tropical regions often have easily gathered amounts of biomass, and they also have sufficient sunlight to make solar energy a competitive way o...

The Method for Effective CO2 Purification in the Atmosphere
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 15 Issue: 1 Our approach incorporates the effective stepwise CO2 purification in the free atmosphere by spraying of alkaline compounds together with acoustic acting inside the cloud via an aircraft. The alkalis cause significantly increases of the CO2 solubility in further rainy droplets during their gravitational fall to provide the effective carbon transport from under-cloud atmosphere to the grou...

Correlation of Various Gaseous Pollutants with Meteorological Parameter (Temperature, Relative Humidity and Rainfall)
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 14 Issue: 6 In the atmosphere many gaseous pollutants like CO, O3, NOX and CH4 are present fluctuates with the atmospheric temperature, relative humidity (RH) and rainfall. The annual average observation of the year 2013 is presented in this paper, which shows the entire monthly average from January to December. Correlation of carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3) and oxides of nitrogen (NOX) has shown n...

Climate and Crime
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 14 Issue: 6 Few issues provoke as much public concern as violence. Persistent variations in the homicide rates of different countries have led sociologists, criminologists and geographers to question why violence, and lethal violence as an extreme example, is more common in some societies than in others. This paper focuses on one possible explanation: climate, and especially temperature. The analysi...

Hydrogen Production by Electrolysis of Water: Factors with an Influence on the Corrosion
Published In: GJSFR Part: H: Environment & Environmental geology Volume: 14 Issue: 6 For a better understanding toward corrosion in metallic electrode of copper and aluminum. Such factors with an influence on the corrosion were investigated via the hydrogen production process by electrolysis of water. The phenomenon of electrode corrosion was studied, and the corrosion is resulted in the appearance of large blisters and a gelatinous alumina gel Al (OH)3. In addition, the...
