About

Louis Addae-Wireko is a lecturer at the Faculty of Renewable Natural Resources (KNUST) with twelve years of experience in natural resources management and the use of Geo-Information science for natural resources management. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the Texas A&M University where he has assisted in teaching courses in GIS, Remote Sensing of the environment, and the use of unmanned aerial systems for remote sensing at the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management (currently Department of Ecology and Conservation Biology). At KNUST, he has taught several courses in Range Management and the use of Remote Sensing and GIS for mapping and monitoring of natural resources. He helped coordinate the joint MSc in GIS for Natural Resources Management Programme between KNUST and the University of Twente (formerly the International Institute for Geo-Information and Earth Observation) in Enschede, the Netherlands and also organized several training and refresher courses. He is a Fulbright and KAAD Scholar and has been a co-director of the Texas A&M University’s Academy for Future Faculty (Center for Teaching Excellence) for two years.

Research Summary

(inferred from publications by AI)

The researcher integrates cutting-edge technologies like machine learning and remote sensing into advancing agricultural productivity, focusing on optimizing oil palm production and cocoa beans. Through data analysis of cocoa soils and beans in specific regions, they explore the health status of cocoa plants. Their work employs multispectral/hyperspectral imagery to assess remote ecosystems for conservation efforts. The researcher also examines household attitudes toward forest resources for sustainable development in developing contexts, using data on white-thighed colobus monkeys as a case study. Through these integrated approaches, they aim to enhance agricultural sustainability while studying wildlife behavior linked to food production.
