Enhancement of the geological mapping in weathered plutonic and metamorphic rocks areas using village water supply wells data (lithology and hydrochemistry)
Cheik Abba Cissé Ouangaré, Séta Naba, Patrick Lachassagne
In weathered plutonic and metamorphic rocks areas, because rock outcrops are rare due to the extensive regolith cover, geological mapping is largely based on the interpretation of airborne data and imagery (aerial photographs, satellite images, airborne geophysics when available, etc.). In the sub-Saharan Africa, numerous village water supply(...)

Hydrochemical Assessment of Groundwater Quality in the City of Manga and the Surrounding Area, Burkina Faso, West Africa
Césard Millogo , Blehiman Sagnon, Sayoba Kafando, Samuel Nakolendoussé
The population of the city of Manga and the surrounding area is supplied with drinking water by boreholes exploiting the fractured rock aquifer. However, these boreholes are often managed without considering the impact of natural geogenic and anthropogenic sources of toxic chemicals, which can threaten groundwater quality. Major ion geochemist(...)

Contribution of Landsat Multispectral Images to the Land Cover Dynamics of the Toéghin-Bangré Watershed for the Period 1998 to 2022 in Burkina Faso
Bako Inès; Koussoubé Youssouf
Abstract:
Remote sensing plays an important role in the continuous observation of the earth's
surface. It produces large databases that can be used to map and monitor natural
resources. To this end, land-use maps are genuine planning and decision-making tools
for natural resource management. The aim of this study is to use remote sensing(...)

Comparative Analysis of Deep Neural Network and Artificial Neural Network for Predicting Wheat Water Content Using UAV Multispectral and Thermal Imagers
Traore Adama, Mahamadou Konare, Syed Tahir Ata-ul-karim, Sunusi Amin Abubakar, Seydou Traore, Ben Zhao, and Aiwang Duan
Water is a vital component for the growth of wheat and the quality of its grains. The measurement of plant water content (PWC) serves as a crucial indicator for assessing the water status of crops, thereby guiding effective irrigation management practices. Recent advancements in technology, particularly the use of multispectral and thermal ima(...)

Hydrothermal alteration associated with the Kiaka world-class gold deposit (Burkina Faso, West Africa)
Benjamin SAWADOGO, Gounwendmanaghré Hubert ZONGO, Wilédio Marc-Emile BONZI, Kalidou TRAORE, Sâga SAWADOGO, Ousseni YAMEOGO, Ousmane BAMBA, Guy FRANCESCHI
This paper aims to show the relationships between hydrothermal alteration, deformation and gold mineralization in the main area of the Kiaka deposit. The Kiaka gold deposit is located in the South-central of Burkina Faso in the Tenkodogo volcano-sedimentary belt. Mineralization is primarily hosted by amphibolite, mylonitized quartz microdiorit(...)

Petrographic and Geochemical Characters of Granites of the Banfora Belt, Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Abdoulaye Ouedraogo, Seta Naba, Hermann Ilboudo
The Banfora’s birimian greenstones belt is located in the western part of Burkina Faso (west Africa). Recent petrographic and lithogeochemical studies have highlighted plutons intruding the metasedimentary and metavolcanic series. These plutonic rocks are composed of leucogranites belonging to the so called Ferkessedougou’s or Ferke’s batholit(...)

Structural Pattern Related to Gold Mineralization in the Essakane Area (Northern Burkina Faso, West African Craton)
Marc Desire Valea, Benjamin Sawadogo, Kalidou Traoré, Urbain Wenmenga, Naba Seta, Benjamin Allou
The finite deformation structures recorded in the Essakane area, located in the northeast corner of Burkina Faso, highlight three major compressive deformation phases, successively named D1, D2, and D3. The D1 event phase, trending NESW, is characterised by P1 folds and S1 axial plane schistosity. The D2 phase trending NW-SE is characterised b(...)

Effects of Organic Compost and Trichoderma harzianum Spores on Soil Fertility and Agronomic Performance of Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.)
Koulibi Fidèle, Kounbo Dabiré, Sibiry Albert Kaboré, Moussa Tondé, Daouda Guébré, Abdramane Sanon, and Edmond Hien.
The food supply has grown steadily over the years, while production has been hampered by the increased use of synthetic fertilizers, leading to pollution and degradation of soil physico-chemical properties. It is imperative to advocate for the promotion of sustainable farming techniques that can enhance crop yields while improving soil fertili(...)

Integrating geospatial data and multi‑criteria analysis for mapping and evaluating the mineralization potential of the Dschang pluton (Western Cameroon)
Fozing Eric Martial, Tcheumenak Kouémo Jules, Sawadogo Sâga, Chako Tchamabé Boris, Ousmanou Safianou, Foka Koagne Staelle, Nguimezap Marie Madeleine, Kwékam, Maurice
The Dschang area has substantial mineral and geological exploration potentialities. However, its basement is unclear due to lack of studies on mineral and lithology mapping, and other mineralization indices. The lithological units and potential hydrothermal alteration zones in the Dschang area are investigated here using remote sensing; geogra(...)
