چکیده

Ghana is a country exceptionally rich in geologic mineral resources with contrasting topographic relief and varied geophysical setting. This paper evaluated the geological setting of special focus on impact topography gravity. Specifically, it assessed how variations geology, topography, landscapes environment control parameters these vary among major regions – Volta Basin, Northern Plains, Ashanti-Kwahu (Kumasi) Coastal Plains Accra surroundings. Previous studies utilizing traditional Geographic Information System (GIS) approaches have documented evolution evolved as part West African Craton. As contribution to existing research, this presents regional analysis by integrated mapping geophysics country. The technical approach research focuses console-based scripting cartographic toolset Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) QGIS for processing datasets: General Bathymetric Chart Oceans (GEBCO), Earth Gravitational Model 2008 (EGM-2008), gravity grids. theoretical background based Africa supported high-resolution data. defines conceptual framework visualization regional-scale project Ghana.

Electrical Resistivity as a Geophysical Mapping Tool; A Case Study Of The New Art Department, Knust- Ghana

Continuous vertical electrical sounding (CVES) surveys were carried out on KNUST campus to ascertain the electrical properties of the formations in the area in order to determine its suitability for the construction of heavy structures. Eight 2D CVES profiles were conducted at the site in the study area with a wenner array using electrode separations of 1, 2.5 and 4 m. The apparent resistivity ...

Advanced Noninvasive Geophysical Monitoring Techniques

Geophysical methods can be used to create images of the Earth’s interior that constitute snapshots at the moment of data acquisition. In many applications, it is important to measure the temporal change in the subsurface, because the change is associated with deformation, fluid flow, temperature changes, or changes in material properties. We present an overview of how noninvasive geophysical me...

Geoinformatics and cartographic analysis, based on modeling and mapping of the microclimate and groundwater flow

The study of the groundwater resources and their properties are very important due to the vast desert areas and arid conditions. Given the current situation in Iran, the water supply is one of the most important territorial and environmental problems. In this study, groundwater resources were surveyed and mapped in Yazd Province and their properties were modeled to determine their effectiveness...

Mapping as a tool for predicting the risk of anthrax outbreaks in Northern Region of Ghana

INTRODUCTION Anthrax is a febrile soil-born infectious disease that can affect all warm-blooded animals including man. Outbreaks of anthrax have been reported in northern region of Ghana but no concerted effort has been made to implement risk-based surveillance systems to document outbreaks so as to implement policies to address the disease. We generated predictive maps using soil pH, temperatu...
