ADEYINKA OLUSANYA

Experience & Activities

Adeyinka Olusanya is a doctoral researcher in Environmental Science at Oklahoma State University, specializing in the intersection of groundwater sustainability, agricultural resilience, and energy development in the U.S. Southern Great Plains. His work addresses critical challenges at the food-energy-water nexus, focusing on how hydraulic fracturing impacts groundwater availability and long-term food and water security. Using advanced geospatial analysis, remote sensing, and metacoupling frameworks, he tracks and models aquifer water storage changes, maps environmental trade-offs, and identifies policy gaps that threaten both ecosystems and agricultural livelihoods.

In Nigeria, Adeyinka Olusanya played an active role in environmental contract projects focused on city development and natural resource management. While serving with the Oyo State Ministry of Environment, he contributed to the monitoring and evaluation of environmental projects, development of environmental management plans, and assessment of waste management practices. He also supported the World Bank–funded NEWMAP initiative by leading land cover change analyses and coordinating community-led agroforestry efforts. His expertise in environmental management, ecosystem restoration, and policy implementation positions him as a key contributor to environmental science and sustainable development initiatives.
