Geographic information systems, field mapping and laboratory analysis… Students from Nigeria are the best at the conference in Mendeleev university
The section “Environment and sustainable development” was attended by 2nd — year graduate students of RUDN Institute of Ecology from Nigeria: Nwobi Nelson Onyebuchi and Okeke Solomon Ekene.
They showed their expertise in the report “Integration of Geographic Information System (GIS), Gully Erosion, and Water Quality Data in Promoting Sustainable Practices: A Case Study of Ebenato, Nnewi South, Anambra State, Nigeria”.
Students studied the reasons for the increase in the area of gullies, in their work using geographic information systems for reconnaissance, field mapping and laboratory analysis.
“Our work was in English, and the poster presentation was the best, which brought us an award. It was an amazing experience!” says Nwobi Nelson Onyebuchi (Nigeria), graduate student at the Institute of Ecology.
The geography of participants is represented by organizations from Russia, Belarus, Greece, Italy, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Uzbekistan, Kenya and Nigeria.
