Abstract

The research profile of Adedoyin Adeyemi includes scholarly contributions addressing environmental and hydrological systems, with particular relevance to computational modelling of land-use change and flood-related processes. Recent collaborative research examines urbanization-driven land-cover change and floodplain transformation in the Ogun River Basin using HAND and CA-Markov models, as well as hydrological responses and flood hazards under projected climate and land-use change. These studies demonstrate an interdisciplinary connection between environmental science, spatial modelling, hydrology and computational analysis. [1] [2]

Introduction

Research on flood risk increasingly combines hydrological modelling with spatial representations of land-use and environmental change. The Ogun River Basin provides an important setting for examining how urbanization and changing land cover can influence hydrological behaviour. Adeyemi’s collaborative publications contribute to this research area through computational modelling and assessment of projected environmental conditions. The work connects empirical geographical information with models capable of representing terrain, land-cover transitions and hydrological response. [1] [2]

Research Profile

Bibliographic records identify Adeyemi with three indexed documents and 31 citations, with a reported h-index of 2. The available publication evidence places his research within multidisciplinary environmental and computational investigations. Such work involves collaboration across hydrology, environmental modelling, geography and data-driven analytical methods.

Research Contributions

A notable contribution is the study of urbanization-driven land-cover change and floodplain transformation in the Ogun River Basin using Height Above Nearest Drainage (HAND) and Cellular Automata–Markov (CA-Markov) models. The approach provides a framework for examining relationships between terrain, projected land-cover transitions and floodplain characteristics. [1]

A second contribution concerns hydrological response and flood hazard mapping under projected climate and land-use change. Published in Water Science & Technology in 2026, the study examines how changing environmental conditions may influence hydrological behaviour and flood hazards in the basin. [2]

  2. “Hydrological response and flood hazard mapping of the Ogun River Basin under projected climate and land-use change.” Water Science & Technology, 2026-05-15.

Research Impact

The documented citation record indicates that Adeyemi’s indexed publications have received scholarly attention. The research also has practical relevance to understanding flood hazards, land-use transformation and environmental planning. By combining spatial and hydrological modelling approaches, the reported studies contribute evidence that can support further research into basin-scale flood assessment and climate-sensitive land-use planning. [2]

Award Suitability

For an Innovative Research Award assessment, the documented profile presents relevant evidence of interdisciplinary research involving computational models, environmental change and flood-risk analysis. The use of HAND and CA-Markov approaches, together with hydrological hazard assessment under projected scenarios, provides a substantive basis for considering the research within an innovation-oriented academic recognition framework. Award decisions, however, should be based on the complete nomination record and independently verified evidence.

Conclusion

Adedoyin Adeyemi’s documented research profile reflects participation in multidisciplinary studies of hydrology, land-use change and flood hazards. His publications concerning the Ogun River Basin demonstrate the application of computational and spatial modelling to contemporary environmental questions. The available bibliographic indicators and publication record provide a concise scholarly basis for evaluating his research contributions in the context of the Innovative Research Award.
