Harriet Atsufui Ahorsu
The researcher has developed a comprehensive approach to understanding radioactive contamination and its transfer across various spatial scales, particularly through modeling their occurrence in farmlands. Their work focuses on analyzing the geospatial distribution and spatial variability of naturally occurring radioactive materials, examining processes at both global and regional levels while incorporating soil property characteristics. The study underscores the importance of quantifying uncertainties in predicting radioactive transfer mechanisms, aiming to provide actionable insights for environmental management and safety protocols.
Faculty Biography
Harriet Atsufui Ahorsu is an Assistant Lecturer at the Department of Geomatic Engineering with an MSc. in Geomatic Engineering. Her interest in Photogrammetry lit up when she worked on identifying false compensation claims using aerial photos of a mining concession. She has worked on several drone data capture projects from mapping several communities (for a typhoid vaccine trial program) to creating topographic maps of building construction sites. She loves collaborating with professionals from fields outside geomatics to bring geospatial solutions to bear whiles gaining intriguing insights into societal issues from new perspectives. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Geomatic Engineering in her department.
