An Integrated Investigation Of Hydrocarbon Pollution In Ahoada Area, Niger Delta Region, Nigeria – a journal article by my 1st PhD student Dr Hafiz Aminu Umar from Nigeria – Feb 23
An article by Dr Hafiz Aminu Umar, also the correspondence. Co authored by me, myself, Sanusi Shiru, Prof Anuar Ahmad FABU UTM, PM Dr Zulkarnain Abd Rahman FABU, PM Dr Ami Hassan Md Din FABU. Published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research, WoS-indexed, impact factor 5.19. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11356-023-25144-z
Dr Hafiz started his journey in UTM in 2015 doing M.Sc (Geoinformatics). I taught him the Geospatial Database course. He was then awarded the prestigious Petroleum Technological Development Fund (PTDF) from Nigeria to pursue his PhD. The fund was intended for him to pursue his PhD in the western countries. Instead, UTM was chosen by him. ALhamdulillah I am so glad with the choices he made, proving that UTM is competent against the western higher learning institutes. He manages to GoT. Now he is the lecturer at The Federal University Dutse in Nigeria.
A visit to Sireh Park, JB for consultation work on slope mitigation – Jun 22
Engagement Meeting with MySA – Oct 22
On Oct 22, three representatives from UTM FABU headed by Dr Imzan Hassan, Mr Wan Hazli Wan Kadir and me, myself went to MySA in KL for an engagement meeting. Chairing the meeting is Mr Azlikamil Napiah, the Director General himself. We discussed some way forward for both UTM FABU and MySA to foster more research and project in the field of GIS and Remote Sensing.
Accompanying Umar Jambo, MSc Student for his fieldwork in Sireh Park – Jan 23
On Jan 23, I accompanied Umar for capturing the landslide vulnerability data of physical infrastructures around Sireh Park, JB and its surrounding areas. Sireh Park is thought to be the largest urban park in Malaysia and few incidents of landslides and slope failure are really alarming. This is due to the availability of a lot of houses and roads around Sireh Park. Alhamdulillah, the findings of this study is conveyed to the SIreh Park authority for further consideration.
Joining PSM students and Amos, PhD student for their Bukit Antarabangsa fieldwork – May 23
Amos is doing something on landslide hazard while Intan is focusing on landslide vulnerability towards TNB’s assets.
