Dr Makinde Akeem Adekunle bagged his B.Sc.(Water Resources Management and Agrometeorology- 2002),M.Sc. and Ph.D. Agro-meteorology (2007 & 2011, respectively) from Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta. Within this general field of Agrometeorology, he specializes in estimation of water availability for agriculture, micro climatic modifications, climate variability and crop production and Farming system Research. Dr Makinde top skills include Proficiency in the use of SAS analyst tools, Preparation and processing of samples and entry of test results into excel, Management of field preparation, planting, harvesting, data collection and analysis of field crops.
As Lecturer and researcher, he has worked on different agrometeorological issues like estimation of water availability for agriculture, micro climatic modifications and climate variability and crop production over the past 10 years. Working on different aspects of agrometeorological issues has helped him to come up with recommendations by combining techniques used in many different fields. During these years he has developed many skills, like how to design a project, how to design an experiment, working with different instruments, writing papers, etc. The works he has published has been widely cited within the field of environmental science and related disciplines. Since January 2014, Dr Makinde has been working as a Lecturer and Researcher of Water Resources Management and Agrometeorology at Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria.
