He has 9 years of experience with Remote sensing and GIS Technologies and their applications to base metal mining operations, quarry materials extraction and environmental management. He concentrates on satellite and LiDAR imaging of land use and land cover changes, spatial modelling of inland water qualities, topographic and mine exploration drilling surveys and monitoring of mine rehabilitation. He holds an M.Phil degree in Applied Geomatics Engineering and Hydrology from The University of Queensland, Australia. He is also an alumnus of University of Philippines where he earned M.Sc Environmental Engineering and B.Sc Mining Engineering.
Paul Ajayi is a GIS Analyst and is passionate about helping organizations maximize the power of location technology. He has 5 years of experience with consultancy firms and municipal organizations, where he has leveraged GIS and spatial data science technologies towards Public and Environmental Health, Urban and Regional Planning, Land Use and Land Cover change modelling, Asset and Utility management. Paul’s recent experience involves remotely supporting an international NGO to efficiently respond to COVID outbreak in Southern Africa through the development of: data cleaning algorithms, mobility data mining, interactive spatio-temporal spread visualizations, spatial analysis and ArcGIS operations Dashboard development.
Rosette Frimpong works as a research assistant at the University of Saskatchewan’s School of Environment and Sustainability. She has studied remote sensing, Geomatics, GIS, and environmental management. With her bachelor’s degree in Geomatics, she has worked as a surveyor where she performed duties such as setting up and operating survey equipment, recording and processing field data, cadastral surveys, open-pit surveys, preparing site plans, AutoCAD, and creating of maps using ArcGIS. Rosette has been an avid fan of sustainability.
