Seun Oladipo is an environmental scientist and geospatial researcher whose work bridges climate adaptation, forest and urban ecology, and spatial decision-support systems. Seun has contributed to research on CO₂ sink potential in the Canary Islands, sustainable transport futures for island communities (in Greece, Iceland, and the Netherlands), and geospatial approaches to reconstructing lost plant communities. His publications span forest ecology, renewable energy, and environmental assessment. His works have been accepted in several international conferences, including the Society of American Foresters Conference (United States of America, 2024), the Clean Energy for EU Islands Forum (Italy, 2024), and the 2nd African Forum on Urban Forests (South Africa, 2025).
