Autorenporträt

Silas S. Dada earned a BSc in geology at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria; an MSc in mineral exploration at the University of Ife, Nigeria; a DEA in tectonics, geophysics, and geochemistry; and a PhD in isotope geochemistry at the University of Science and Technology, Montpellier. He is a Certified Geoscientist (COMEG¿GEM00156), a member of the European Association of Geochemists, and a Fellow of many professional societies and associations, including the Association of Applied Geochemists, Nigerian Mining and Geosciences Society (NMGS), Nigerian Association of Engineering Geology and Environment, and Nigerian Society of Mining Engineers. Professor Dada is bilingual in English and French, and he combines Precambrian research with mineral exploration with over 60 impactful publications. With more than 40 years of experience in a variety of geological terrains in mineral exploration, research supervision at the PhD level, and several research publications, he leads a team of dynamic professional geoscientists to embark on this book project via Dasil Geoconsults, a consultancy group that is equally interested in the diffusion of geoscience knowledge. Samuel B. Olobaniyi earned a BSc, an MSc, and a PhD at the Department of Geology and Mineral Sciences, University of Ilorin, Nigeria. He is a member of several professional organizations, such as the Society for Geology Applied to Mineral Deposits and Fellow of the NMGS. He has been Head of the Department of Geology at Delta State University, Abraka, and at the University of Lagos at various times. He has been a consultant on several exploration projects, both in the oil and solid mineral industries, and an author or cöauthor of over 50 scholarly articles in national and international journals, chapters in books, and conference proceedings. He is the Associate Editor of Journal of Mining and Geology and cöeditor of the book Five Decades of Oil Production in Nigeria: Impact on the Niger Delta. He is currently a member of the Board of Regents, Covenant University, Ota, Nigeria. Kamaldeen O.L Omosanya is a distinguished geoscientist with over 17 years of experience in diverse geological and geophysical data analysis, resource exploration, and innovative environmental solutions. Kamal earned a PhD in earth sciences at Cardiff University (United Kingdom), an MSc in structural geology with geophysics at the University of Leeds (United Kingdom), and a BSc in earth sciences at Olabisi Onabanjo University, AgöIwoye (Nigeria). Additionally, he has several diplomas and certificates in computer studies; business management; energy transition; health, safety, and environment; data analytics; and international leadership at reputable institutions and universities in Europe, the United States, and Asia. Dr. Omosanya's contributions to the field of geoscience are evident in his 155+ scientific publications in high¿impact journals, covering a wide range of geoscience topics. Additionally, he serves on the Editorial Boards of Nature Scientific Reports (Springer), Marine Geology (Elsevier), Global Journal of Earth Science and Engineering, Journal of the Nigerian Society of Physical Sciences, and Discover Geoscience (Springer). He is currently a Scientific Board Member of the Geohazards theme for IUGS and IGCP (UNESCO).
