Biography

I am a tutorial assistant and a researcher at the School of Mines and Geosciences (SoMG), Department of Geosciences, University of Dar es Salaam. My research interests are in Geology, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) applications in studying the earth and earth’s resources. 

I have experience in teaching, researching and consulting on GIS and remote sensing applications in earth studies. Expertise in working with GIS software, geospatial databases, various GIS-related datasets and remotely sensed data. I have skills in data management, GIS mapping and imagery, data analysis and interpretation of results. I can make data-driven decisions, integrating several datasets and cartographic skills; I can produce geological maps, topographic maps, base maps, land use land cover maps, web maps and hydrological groundwater potential zone maps.

I work in teamwork with other Geoscientists and GIS specialists in applying Remote Sensing techniques and geological principles for understating the earth, natural resources, processes operating on the earth and the socio-economic impacts of those processes.
