Mofoluso attended the 2012 Association of American Geographers (AAG) Annual Conference at the Hilton Hotel, New York 24 - 28 February 2012. He presented a paper titled, 'Developing an emission inventory of air pollutants and GHGs from residential sources in the Niger Delta'. The paper focused on the methodological approach used to develop the area-source component of the Niger Delta Emission Inventory (NDEI) infrastructure, which he constructed for his PhD study. The process of generating input data for the infrastructure are also discussed during the presentation. The presentation has been developed into a journal paper, which will be submitted for peer review and publication. Find out more about Mofoluso's research here
