Bio
Samuel Akande is a Senior Scientific Officer at the Centre for Space Research and Applications (CESRA), Federal University of Technology Akure, Nigeria. His research interest include modelling of climate change impacts over land, sea and atmosphere, coastal ocean interactions, sea ice modeling, large-scale oceanic circulation and observations, ocean dynamics and their impact on coastal ecosystems. Hence, he has undertaken research either solely or in collaboration with other (home-based and international) scientists, right from conceptualization of ideas to publications.
He is experienced in applying space science and technology to provide early warning services against environmental hazards and also enhance the socio-economic opportunities for both the private and public sectors.
His doctoral research titled, “Coastal Vulnerability Assessments and Adaptation to Climate Change and Extreme Events along the Gulf of Guinea” provided some answers to the issues of coastal hazards along West Africa. The research, through the support of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Future Earth was advanced to developing an “Enhancing Adaptation and Resilience against multi-hazards along West Africa’s Coasts” (EARWAC) Dashboard (https://earwac.com/). The EAWAC project was performed by his research at the SixthAvis Ltd, Nigeria. The EARWAC is a web-based visualization tool that currently combines Earth Observation data and local indicators to generate detailed maps and analytical charts on coastal flood vulnerability index, flash flood (historical and projected), land cover, and at-risk populations at different administrative zones.
Akande was a Research Associate under the International Research Project funded by the United Kingdom’s Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF-African SWIFT) at the African Centre for Meteorological Applications for Development (ACMAD), Niamey, Niger Republic.
Akande was involved in the automation of African weather forecasting systems for people’s safety, and for key economic sectors including aviation, agriculture, energy, water and emergency response. Also, he was part of the research team responsible for the interdisciplinary engagement needed to link forecast users requirements with the provision of quantitative measures of forecast accuracy. His research outputs were effective in enhancing the delivery of weather forecasts and providing early warnings to high impact events (e.g. onset of rains, heat waves, dry spells, strong winds); rapid response to extreme events like flooding and prolonged droughts and increased resilience through integration of weather prediction from nowcasting to seasonal time scale into strategies for response to climate change.
