Sedimentology and Environmental Pollution assessment

Profile Summary

I am a PhD Earth scientist with 10 years of practical research experience at IRAD (Cameroon).
Specialising in sedimentology, pollution assessment and environmental geochemistry.
I work with academic institutions, NGOs, and private clients who need rigorous, publication-quality scientific analysis and reporting.

What I deliver:
— Geochemical data interpretation (sediments, soils, water)
— Environmental pollution assessment with standard indices (EF, CF, PLI, RI)
— Trace Metal Element (TME) analysis and ecological risk evaluation
— Sediment provenance tracing and weathering characterization
— Soil carbon stock quantification (TOC, bulk density)
— GIS mapping and spatial analysis (SURFER, ENVI, Global Mapper, Google Earth Pro)
— Scientific report writing, technical editing, and peer-review support

I have published work and currently review for journals from Springer Nature.
I am bilingual French/English and available for short deliverables and long-term collaborations.

I don't overpromise. I deliver timely, documented, rigorous, and replicable science.
