Short Profile

Professor Oludare ADEDEJI teaches environmental geography and geospatial methods at the Federal
University of Agriculture in Abeokuta's Department of Environmental Management and Toxicology.
He graduated with his undergraduate degree in geography and planning from the University of Lagos
in 1993, his master's degree in geography from the University of Ibadan in 1998, and his doctorate in
geography from the same institution in 2008. Additionally, he received a PGD in 2010 from the
Faculty for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC), University of Twente Enschede,
the Netherlands, and a Certificate in Disaster Risk Management and Environmental Assessment for
Spatial Planning from the same institution in 2015.
His area of expertise is physical geography, with a focus on the application of geospatial techniques to
Environmental and Natural Resources Analysis (Remote Sensing and Geographical Information
System). His research publications and the knowledge he has added have primarily focused on
environmental issues, such as the assessment and monitoring of environmental pollution, atmospheric
deposition of nutrients and pollutants, disaster risk management, and geospatial analysis of changes in
land use/land cover changes and their effects, such as the assessment of surface urban heat islands
(SUHI) in Nigerian cities.
He participates in numerous fieldwork assessments to address environmental issues. He belongs to
organizations for professionals like the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing,
the Association of Nigerian Geographers, the Environmental and Geospatial Information in Africa, and
the International Soil Moisture Network. His expertise lies in the domain of physical geography. He
has received scholarships from the Netherlands Fellowship Programme (NFP) for postgraduate work in
natural resource management, geoinformation, and earth observation (2009–2010), as well as for a
short course in disaster risk reduction and environmental assessment for spatial planning (2015).
