Mr. Chukwudi Peter Nzoiwu
Mr. Chukwudi Peter Nzoiwu is a LECTURER II in GEOGRAPHY AND METEROLOGY Department, Faculty Of Environmental Sciences in Nnamdi Azikiwe University

Staff Profile
I am a hydrology and climate scientist motivated by the need to investigate the impacts of climate on water resources and land ecosystems. This motivation is hinged on my conviction that research can help reduce these impacts, especially for vulnerable groups. Thus, my research focuses on investigating climate extremes and variabilities such as rainfall, water balance analysis, lake morphometric and bathymetric changes, changes in LULC, and carbon storage. In addition, I combine a variety of skills and tools such as spatial analysis using ArcGIS and QGIS, data science in R-programming, and IBM SPSS, to study climate interaction with land and water resources.
