A dimension-stone-specific GIS-AHP framework for regional quarry suitability screening in under-mapped Precambrian basement: application to Cameroon’s West Region, Central African Fold Belt
Dimension stone exploration in crystalline basement terrains requires spatially explicit methods that integrate geological potential with environmental, infrastructural, and regulatory constraints. This study develops a GIS-based multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) framework combined with Analytic Hierarchy Process...
