Working title: Spatiotemporal Modelling and Cartographic Visualisation of Land Use Dynamics and Surface Urban Heat Island Evolution in the Selected Mid-Sized Cities of the Global South
Research interest:
My research focuses on land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) and surface urban heat islands (SUHI), with an interest in how urbanisation and landscape dynamics influence environmental conditions.
I aim to develop an integrated geoinformation and cartographic framework to analyse and communicate the spatiotemporal relationships between land-use change and surface urban heat island dynamics in Ibadan, Nigeria.
