ClearCoastal Vulnerability Assessment: A Case Study of the Nigerian Coastline
Researchers assessed the vulnerability of the Nigerian coastline to sea-level rise and associated hazards including erosion, flooding, and saltwater intrusion using analytical methods. The study quantified and classified coastal vulnerability across the Nigerian shoreline to support evidence-based coastal management.
The importance of microplastics pollution studies in water and soil of Nigeria ecosystems
This review highlights the lack of microplastic pollution research in Nigeria, despite the country's growing plastic production and consumption. The author calls for more local studies to generate data needed for science-based policy on plastic waste management in African ecosystems.
Unlocking the potential of computational fluid dynamics in Nigerian polymer research: current trends and future directions
This review examines the underutilization of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in Nigerian polymer research and argues for broader adoption to address challenges such as plastic waste management, material degradation, and property enhancement. The authors identify prospective opportunities for CFD integration in the Nigerian research context to foster innovation and improve cost-efficiency in polymer science.
Renewable Energy from Agricultural Waste: Biogas Potential for Sustainable Energy Generation in Nigeria’s Rural Agricultural Communities
This study assessed the biogas potential of agricultural waste in Nigeria, estimating that up to 227,500 tonnes of animal manure and 84 million tonnes of crop residues produced annually could generate substantial renewable energy. The analysis positioned agricultural biogas as a viable circular economy pathway to reduce fossil fuel dependence in Nigeria's energy mix.
HF Radar Wind Direction: Multiannual Analysis Using Model and HF Network
Not relevant to microplastics — this paper analyses multi-year high-frequency radar data from the Gulf of Naples to evaluate the reliability of HF radar systems for measuring offshore wind direction.
Diagnostic analysis of the Canary Current System of West Africa: the need for a paradigm shift to proactive natural resource management
This study analyses the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem off West Africa, examining how land-based pollutants, climate change, and inadequate oceanographic monitoring infrastructure combine to threaten marine biodiversity, food security, and coastal livelihoods, while calling for a dedicated oceanographic monitoring system for the region.
Wind‐Based Estimations of Ocean Surface Currents From Massive Clusters of Drifters in the Gulf of Mexico
Researchers used ocean surface drifter data from the Gulf of Mexico to develop models estimating surface currents from wind measurements. This type of modeling can be applied to predict how microplastic debris disperses across ocean surfaces after entering from river or coastal sources.
Microplastic dynamics and risk projections in West African coastal areas: Developing a vulnerability index, adverse ecological pathways, and mitigation framework using remote-sensed oceanographic profiles
Researchers analyzed microplastic dynamics along West African coastal areas using remote-sensed oceanographic data from 2019 to 2024. They developed a vulnerability index to assess ecological risk and identified key environmental factors driving microplastic transport in the region. The study proposes a mitigation framework to help coastal communities and policymakers address this growing pollution challenge.
Does national power trigger ocean conservation?
This political science study investigates whether a nation's geopolitical power influences its commitment to ocean conservation policies. It explores the relationship between national power dynamics and environmental governance in marine contexts.
Plastic Pollution in the Environment in Nigeria: A Rapid Systematic Review of the Sources, Distribution, Research Gaps and Policy Needs
This systematic review examines plastic pollution across Nigeria's environment, including water, soil, air, and food. The research finds that plastic contamination is widespread but under-studied in African countries, with significant gaps in data and policy. Understanding plastic pollution in developing nations is critical because these regions often lack the waste management infrastructure to prevent microplastic contamination of food and water.
Environmental Compatibility of the Parc Tramuntana Offshore Wind Project in Relation to Marine Ecosystems
Researchers conducted an environmental impact assessment of the Parc Tramuntana offshore wind project in Catalonian waters, providing quantitative analysis of potential effects on marine ecosystems based on two years of detailed environmental studies in accordance with current regulatory requirements.
