Geophysics-Articles

 Geophysics is an interdisciplinary physics concerned with the character of the world and its environment and apply the knowledge and techniques of physics, mathematics and chemistry to know the structure and dynamic behaviour of the world and its environment. Petroleum; Environmental; Mining Geophysics are the favored branches. Geophysics mainly divided as Exploration Geophysics, and Global Geophysics. Global Geophysics with study of earthquakes, the most magnetic flux , physical oceanography, studies of the Earth's thermal state and meteorology. In Exploration Geophysics, physical principles are applied to the look for , and evaluation of resources like oil, gas, minerals, water and building stone. Exploration geophysicists also add the management of resources and therefore the associated environmental issues.   Earth Science & Climatic Change, Geology & Geophysics, Geography & Natural Disasters, Oceanography: Open Access, Geophysics, Journal of Applied Geophysics, Near Surface Geophysics, Russian Geology and Geophysics, Journal of Geophysical Research, Advances in Geophysics, Geophysica, Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics. within the absence of any systematic exploration and development, the Nigerian gold fields have experienced intense artisanal workings which target both the first gold-quartz reefs and their associated alluvial occurrences. Officially, recorded gold production in Nigeria started by 1913 and peaked within the period of 1933. The gold production declined during the Second war period and never recovered as mines were abandoned by mostly colonial companies. In Northern Nigeria, the foremost prominent occurrences are found at Maru, Anka, Malele, Tsohon-Birnin Gwari, Kwaga and Gurmana.
