They are located on an alignment with a more or less W-E direction making up the Northern group known as Bakwanga. The importance of the Bakwanga kimberlite massives on the country’s economy in the production of diamonds sufficiently proves the interest of geological research work in this area. The objective of this work is to determine a mathematical model of the shape of the massive as close as possible to reality and through cartography. The cartographic study and modeling of this kimberlite massive were carried out using data from core samples taken on longitudinal and transverse profiles of the 50 × 50 meter mesh drilling plan intersecting this kimberlite massive. We intend to deduce the structure and lithostratigraphy of the kim-berlitic facies and the direct environment of massive 5. As a result, we note that the majority of surveys on the extent of this massive have intersected: Red clayey sand - Polymorphic sandstone - Nodular sandstone, with kaolin blocks and nodules - Epiclastic Kimberlite - Xenokimberlite - Massive Kimberlite - Mesozoic sandstone - Dolomite (enclosing). The shape of the Massive 5 model is vaguely elliptical with a W-E longitudinal axis of 575 m and N-S axis of 275 meters. Surveys have shown that Massive 5 is in fact composed of two pipes, located in the W (western pipe) and E (eastern pipe) ends of the massif. The two chimneys of the two pipes have walls ranging from subvertical at the eastern pipe to very steep walls of around 70˚ to 80˚ for the western pipe and the average diameter of the two pipes is ±50 meters. At level 600, the massive has an area of ±10.5 hectares and it gradually decreases in depth and the modeling of the latter shows a concentric decrease in the volume of the massive from the surface to depth in the shape of a mushroom. 3 eruptive phases established this Kimber-litic massive, the first two phases (old) of which formed the crater of the western pipe and the third formed the crater of the eastern pipe in the dolomites. These dolomites constitute everywhere the surrounding area of the massive;the distinction of these 3 phases is made possible thanks to Epiclastic deposits, Xenokim-berlites and massive Kimberlites.展开更多

The latter is experiencing urban sprawl and the disappearance of natural ecosystems without respecting Land Use Plans. This research was initiated to analyze the dynamics observed in land use and foretell the city urban sprawl. The method used is based on both mapping and field surveys. Landsat TM 2005 and OLI TIRS 2023 images have been processed to produce environmental dynamics and sprawl in addition to geographical coordinates of infrastructure, subdivision data and populations from 1979 to 2023. The “Land Change Modeler” program used in ArcGIS was used to predict urban sprawl in 2041. Population perceptions were analyzed from surveys of 100 people. Excel 2010 was used to produce the graphs. The results showed that the city of Comè grew from 221.1 ha to 2500.1 ha between 2005 and 2023. This urban sprawl does not necessarily follow the urban planning and land use plans proposed in the Master plan for the development of the municipality (SDAC). Subdivision operations, land use, population, infrastructure and geographical location of the crossroads town have all contributed to this sprawl. By 2041, the city will have expanded to 5583.37 ha. Over time, if this accelerated and uncontrolled urbanization is ignored, the city will expand to the point where the commune, which used to produce maize, oil palm, fish and vegetable resources, will find itself unable to provide these resources for its people.展开更多
