    INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF SEA LEVEL VARIATION ON VERTICAL REFERENCE FRAMES BASED ON A DESIGNED EXPERIMENT
    (School of Environmental Technology Conference (SETIC) Conference Proceedings, Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria, 2016) ODUMOSU, J.O., IDOWU, T.O., ADESINA, E.A., AJAYI, O.G., IBRAHIM, P.
    The Mean Sea level as a result of its "near-coincidence" with the equipotential surface of the geoid is universally adopted as a reference surface for the physical realization of the vertical reference system. Unfortunately, the effect of climate change has continued to alter the value of the mean sea level across the globe by as much as 10mm per annum at certain locations. The Gauss-Markov functional model has been used in this study to determine the effect of Sea Level variation on sea-related physical heights along the ZIT-control series in Lagos state using the different International Association of Geodesy (IAG) standard geo-potential values as representative indicators of sea level rise. Results obtained show very minimal effect of MSL variation on the VRF. with a standard deviation of # 0.000000000015 m.

    The effect of coastal environment on residential property values: A review of literature
    (Centre for Human Settlements and Urban Development (CHSUD) Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State, Nigeria, 2019) Oladapo Rashidat Adejoke; Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde; Ojo Babajide; Olukolajo M A
    In coastal environment, studies have revealed a wide range of structural, locational, neighbourhood and environmental attributes to account for their effects on property values. This study observed that the trends in studies on effects of different sectors of the coastline on coastal housing market have been largely progressive in continents like America, Asia and Europe but rather slow in Africa countries like Nigeria. In this review, an attempt is made to provide a common classification for housing attributes based on studies that employed hedonic pricing models and categorize findings from a number of coastal housing studies. The review also noted that measurable but varied price premium were paid for attributes such as beach nourishment, water views and clarity by buyers for proximate properties to the coastline. The paper therefore recommends more studies of effects of coastline features on property value particularly in developing countries like Nigeria so as to reveal the peculiarities in their coastal regions.
