Omosalewa's research
Omosalewa Odebiri is a specialist in Remote Sensing and GIS/Machine Learning (Deep Learning) with over 8 years of experience developing technology solutions and conducting research, as well as teaching in environmental sciences with a focus on climate change, carbon emissions, forestry, ecology, land use and land cover changes, among others.
At the Blue Carbon Lab, he hopes to use remote sensing strategies in modelling greenhouse gases (GHGs) within agricultural dams, as well as provide active solutions to minimise GHG emissions.
