Biography
I am an Applied Geographer, specialising in Remote Sensing, Geo-Informatics and Environmental Change. My main research interests are in the application of remote sensing to landscape change including agricultural and forest resources, especially in context of global climatic change. I have previously worked in universities in Nigeria, the Republic of Ireland, Singapore and Hong Kong. My current work is focused on trends in wood fuel resources, specifically farmland trees in northern Nigeria, succession in tropical secondary forests, global greening/browning trends under climate change, and remote sensing of atmospheric aerosols including fine particulates.
