Gebrewahd Amha Abesha

Assistant Professor of  Rangeland Science,  research focuses on Rangeland Rehabilitation, specifically exploring sustainable methods to restore degraded rangelands for improved ecological health and productivity. Also investigate the interactions between pastoralists and the environment, studying how traditional land use practices can be integrated with modern geospatial technologies to enhance rangeland management and support pastoral livelihoods. Additionally, analyze the spatial dynamics of rangeland boundaries and land-use patterns to understand the impacts of land tenure systems on rangeland sustainability.

1. Prior to coming to Canada, I was a former Assistant Professor of Geomatics and Natural Resource evaluation, and Rangeland ecology at Dilla University at the College of Agricultural and Natural Resources. In 2001, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural  at Mekelle University (Ethiopia), and in 2007, I received a Master of Science in Agriculture from the University of Haramaya, Ethiopia, with a specialization on Rangeland Ecology, and in 2011 I received another Master of Professional science in Geomatics and Natural Resources Evaluation, from Florence University, Italy. Beginning in 2002, I've been teaching at colleges and universities in different departments and faculties for the last 20 years.
