Abstract

Niger is located at the southern edge of the Sahara desert in north-central Africa. The country covers a territory of 1,267,000 square kilometers (489,191 square miles), or about three times the size of California, with a population exceeding 7.5 million people. In 1989, Niger abandoned 16 years of military rule and is now on the way to a democratic system; the first multiparty elections are schedules for 1992. Mining industries are the primary base for Niger`s economy. Uranium is the leading export commodity, with revenues accounting for about one-third of Niger`s export earnings. Other mineral products include coal, tin, and small amounts of gold.

Niger, with new oil legislation, offers little drilled acreage for exploration

Journal Article Bruneton, A - Oil and Gas Journal; (United States)

This paper reports on the Ministry of Mines and Energy of Niger has released acreage in East Niger to the international oil industry. Four blocks will be opened in a first step with no fixed time schedule for offers. The blocks are largely underexplored and are near significant oil indications. Niger, between Algeria and Nigeria, represents a transitional link between North Africa and Central Africa. The Republic of Niger, with the exception of its capital Niamey, is sparsely populated with 7 million people on a 1.3 million sq mile territory. Easy communications exist with neighboring Nigeria, Mali, and Chad. Themore »« less
Pollution of the River Niger and its main tributaries

Journal Article Nwokedi, G; Obodo, G - Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology; (United States)

The River Niger system, with a length of about 4200 kilometers, and a discharge volume of 190 cubic kilometers, per year is the third largest river in Africa, and the largest in West Africa. It serves as an important waterway for the transportation of goods and provides rich agricultural flood basins for the cultivation of food and vegetables. Also it is a major source of animal proteins in form of fishes, snails and other aquatics. Above all the River and its tributaries represent the main source of domestic water supply for the rural communities, and water for irrigation. Therefore theremore »« less

Uranium industry of the People`s Republic of China

Journal Article

China has a well-developed uranium industry capable of supporting the nation`s ambitious domestic nuclear program. China`s geology is diverse and offers a good potential for uranium deposits. A large number of deposits have been found to date; most are small and of low to moderate grade, but the combined production capability is substantial. China is the world`s third largest country, with an area of approximately 9.6 million square kilometers (3.7 million square miles), which is almost as large as Canada, and slightly larger than the USA. Currently, China has several nuclear power plants under construction and an aggressive plan formore »« less
Soil Dust Aerosols and Wind as Predictors of Seasonal Meningitis Incidence in Niger

Journal Article García-Pando, Carlos; Stanton, Michelle; Diggle, Peter; ... - Environmental Health Perspectives

Epidemics of meningococcal meningitis are concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa during the dry season, a period when the region is affected by the Harmattan, a dry and dusty northeasterly trade wind blowing from the Sahara into the Gulf of Guinea. We examined the potential of climate-based statistical forecasting models to predict seasonal incidence of meningitis in Niger at both the national and district levels. We used time series of meningitis incidence from 1986 through 2006 for 38 districts in Niger. We tested models based on data that would be readily available in an operational framework, such as climate and dust, population,more »« less

International RADAGAST Experiment in Niamey, Niger: Changes and Drivers of Atmospheric Radiation Balance

Conference Kassianov, Evgueni; McFarlane, Sally; Barnard, James; ...

The Sahara desert is notorious as a source of massive dust storms. This dust dramatically influences the Earth-atmosphere energy budget through reflecting and absorbing the incoming sunlight. However, this budget is poorly understood, and in particular, we lack quantitative understanding of how the diurnal and seasonal variation of meteorological variables and aerosol properties influence the propagation of solar irradiance through the desert atmosphere. To improve our understanding of these influences, coincident and collocated observations of fluxes, measured from both space and the surface, are highly desirable. Recently, the unique capabilities of the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) Experiment, the Atmosphericmore »« less
