About the Cover

A radiometric survey was carried out on rocks in Ikogosi warm spring vicinity using a Gamma ray spectrometer. The survey covered three different rock series of granites, quartzite and gneisses with a total of 79 data points acquired due to inhibition. The Radiogenic Heat Production values varied from 0.21 to 3.31 µWm-3with mean value of 1.39 µWm-3. The granites series have the highest heat production followed by gneisses and quartzite series. In the same way, Thorium have the highest values of concentration followed by Uranium and Potassium as least with values of 24.3, 7.6 and 3.55 ppm respectively. The heat production data were also used to compute heat flow for the area and the results indicated a wide range in heat flow values with granites rocks ranging between 4.01 and 23.92 mWm-2 with an average of 10.99 ± 5.82 mWm-2while the gneis is series ranged between 1.64 and 13.95 mWm-2 with an average of 7.18 ± 4.07 mWm-2. Also the quartzites series ranged between 8.24 and 27.73 mWm-2with an average of 15.95± 4.10 mWm-2.
