Areas of Research Interest & Specialty

S/N Research Area
1 Dr. Egai is in Geochemistry, EIA, waste assessment, surface and subsurface Environmental Geology professional. He has over the past 7 years worked on the Integrated Geophysical and Geochemical Investigations for the Characterization of Oil spill sites in parts of the Niger Delta Area, Southern Nigeria. He had also involved in environmental issues of surface and subsurface environmental assessments and evaluations matters in the Niger Delta region, Nigeria. He had the requisite potential and ability to unravel, mediate and scientifically solve lingering environmental issues as team member. He often incorporates geophysical techniques and methods in executing both hydrogeologic (including aquifer storage potential protective capacity) and geotechnical projects. Successful and productive boreholes based on the recommendation of his studies and reports. He had published over twenty articles in relation to the environment, hydrogeological, geotechnical and geophysical studies in the Niger Delta and beyond. These articles are available in online and Google scholar
