01 / POSITION
His work lives in the distance between what a satellite sees and what a landscape means.
Across Ghana and West Africa, Dr. Ashiagbor applies multispectral imagery, synthetic aperture radar, GIS, and field validation to forests, cocoa systems, wetlands, wildlife habitats, and changing cities.
That practice is deliberately applied: research becomes teaching, institutional capability, map-validation protocols, and evidence for deforestation-free commodity policy.
Current appointments
Four roles.
One through-line.
Research, teaching, programme leadership, and international policy work converge around one question: how can spatial evidence serve the living landscape?
