Mr. Rotimi Obateru-Remote Sensing-Best Researcher Award

Rotimi Obateru at Federal University of Technology, Nigeria

Professional Profile

Summary:

Mr. Rotimi Oluseyi Obateru is a dedicated PhD researcher specializing in Climate Change and Human Habitat at the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria, under the West African Science Service Centre on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL). With a strong academic foundation in Geography and Environmental Management, Mr. Obateru’s research focuses on assessing landscape structure changes and their impact on ecosystem services in the face of climate change across West African ecological regions. His work aims to address the environmental challenges driven by urban expansion, population growth, and climate change, striving to contribute towards sustainable solutions for the region.

👩‍🎓Education:

Mr. Obateru holds a B.Sc. in Geography (First Class Honours, 2016), an M.Sc. in Physical Geography (2019), and an M.Sc. in Environmental Management (2021), all from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. He is currently pursuing his PhD in Climate Change and Human Habitat at the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria.

Professional Experience:

Since July 2021, Mr. Obateru has been an Assistant Lecturer in Physical Geography at Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Nigeria. In addition to his teaching responsibilities, he actively participates in international academic initiatives, such as the Bochum Urban Climate Summer School (BUCSS22) at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, which he attended in September 2022.

Research Interest:

Mr. Obateru’s research interests lie in Physical Geography, Landscape Ecology, and Climate Change. His notable study, “Community-based assessment of the dynamics of urban landscape characteristics and ecosystem services in the rainforest and guinea savanna ecoregions of Nigeria,” integrates geospatial techniques with socioeconomic surveys to explore urban landscape changes. This groundbreaking research aims to bridge the gap between satellite observation and the socio-environmental realities of urban residents, contributing valuable insights towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11 on sustainable cities and communities.
