Development of a Geo-electrical Database Management System (GDBMS) for Geoscientist Application.

Project Abstract

<p> </p><p>In the field of geosciences, large sum of data are always &nbsp;acquired, processed and interpreted for different geographic locations, but only few of the data are well managed, such that, they can be useful for subsequent geoscience related surveys carried out in the same geographical locations. This is a challenge in the geoscience field, and it would be beneficial to the field when this challenge is resolved and it becomes a utilisable concept. It is in this regard that a database &nbsp;management &nbsp;system &nbsp;(GDBMS) &nbsp;for &nbsp;geo-electric &nbsp;data &nbsp;storage, &nbsp;retrieval, &nbsp;and manipulations &nbsp;(corrected &nbsp;and &nbsp;updated) &nbsp;for &nbsp;geoscientist &nbsp;application &nbsp;is &nbsp;conceived. &nbsp; With &nbsp;the application &nbsp;of &nbsp;vertical &nbsp;electrical &nbsp;sounding &nbsp;technique &nbsp;of &nbsp;electrical &nbsp;prospecting &nbsp;method, &nbsp;17 location &nbsp;points &nbsp;were &nbsp;occupied &nbsp;at &nbsp;Owena, &nbsp;Ondo &nbsp;east &nbsp;local &nbsp;government. &nbsp;Deriving &nbsp;from &nbsp;the interpreted geophysical data acquired are the field curve types, geoelectric section and relevant &nbsp;hydrogelogic maps such as anisotropy, longitudinal conductance and corrosivity maps of the area. &nbsp;Through &nbsp;programing &nbsp;coding &nbsp;involving &nbsp;C-sharp &nbsp;and &nbsp;SQL &nbsp;(Structured &nbsp;query &nbsp;language) programming language, a DBMS software application is developed. Using the results of the geophysical investigation, the geoelectric DBMS (GDBMS) was developed. The &nbsp;deployment of this developed GDBMS enhance the displaying, editing etc of geoscientific information that can be applied in the field of engineering geophysics, environmental and hydrogeophysics. &nbsp;</p><br> <br><p></p>
