Biography

Dr. Mbuh has had an interest in geography since High School and has been studying Geographic Information Science since 1995. After earning an undergraduate degree in geography and a Master's degree in Geomorphology, Hydrology and Water Resources and an MPhil in geography from the University of Yaounde, he immigrated to the United States in 2005 as an exchange visitor to work for the National Parks Service and US Fisheries and wildlife service for about a year. After his internship and with a passion for Geospatial science, he decided to go in for another Masters in Geospatial Science at Missouri State University and Ph.D. in Earth Systems and Geoinformation Sciences. His interest in the science of geography and geographic information science and training equipped him with experience in physical geography and geospatial science with research in geomorphology and hydrology, multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing, GIS, photogrammetry, internet GIS, GIS programming and thematic cartography. This multidisciplinary research interest is the reason why he decided to work on a PhD in Earth systems and geoinformation science at George Mason University Fairfax, Virginia where he is expected to graduate in July 2015. Dr. Mbuh has more than 8 years of teaching several courses ranging from physical geography, geographic information systems, Internet GIS mapping, GIS programming, remote sensing and digital image processing. He has also had the opportunity to work as a teaching mentor /evaluation for new graduate instructors. Among the most satisfying experiences for him as a teacher has been instructing students on an individual basis as a tutor in our university Geoscience and cartographic science lab. His areas of expertize include, but are not limited to Geomorphology, Hydrology and water resources, river systems and watersheds, Water quality, Remote Sensing, Digital Image Processing & Analysis, Spatiotemporal Information Extraction and Analysis, Photogrammetry, Scientific Data Mining, Geospatial Information Systems, Cartography and Information Visualization, Spatial Statistics in GIS for data quality evaluation.
