Enimhien Akhabue

Enimhien is an Oppenheimer-Turvil Doctoral Scholar in the Department of Geography (Physical) at the University of Exeter. She is part of the Oppenheimer Programme in African Landscape Systems (OPALS). Enimhien holds a BSc in Forestry and Wildlife Management from the University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, where she focused on forest soils and forest trees. She also earned an MSc in Silviculture and Forest Biology from the same university, with her master's thesis assessing the above-ground carbon stock and soil properties of an arboretum in Nigeria.
 
Her current research explores the dynamics of African landscapes through the use of the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) Land Surface Model. She aims to improve the model's ability to simulate these landscapes more accurately, offering valuable insights for decision-makers across the continent.
 
Her broader research interests span global ecosystems, land surface modeling, forestry, conservation, and restoration biology.
