EmailAbout Dr. Osabor Vincent Ndem
Dr Vincent Ndem Osabor is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry, University of Calabar, Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria. He received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees on Analytical/Environmental Chemistry in 1997 and 2005 respectively from the University of Calabar. Dr Osabor has been teaching, supervising, co-supervising and contributing to the graduation of undergraduate and graduate (PGD, M.Sc. and Ph.D) students. He has carried out many research works in the field of Environmental, Analytical, Petroleum Geochemistry, natural product and food sciences. Currently, he is investigating the bioactive elements and nutrients distribution in the sediments of Cross River Estuary, Calabar River and Great Kwa River with a view to predicting Global climate change. He has to his credit over thirty six scholarly publications spread across reputable local and foreign peer reviewed journals. Dr Vincent Osabor has attended and presented several papers on workshops and conferences. He is a member of many professional bodies including Chemical Society of Nigeria, Nigerian Petroleum Geosciences Association of Nigeria and Nigeria Food Science Association. He is a reviewer/editorial board member of Soil Science and Environmental Management Journal, Global Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences and Academic Staff Union Association Journal.
