Mr. ENOH JEANOT FONGOH | Aquifer Geology | Young Scientist Award

Research Assistant at Aquifer Geology, Institute of Geological and Mining Research, Yaounde, Cameroon

Enoh Jeanot Fongoh is an experienced water resource management expert with proficiency in planning and executing fieldwork, coordinating logistics, compiling, analyzing, and interpreting hydrochemical and environmental data. With a strong ability to prepare investigation reports aligned with project goals, Enoh possesses excellent demonstrative and communication skills. Seeking opportunities to contribute to the growth of emerging regional and global economies, Enoh aims to further expand their knowledge in the field.

Professional Profiles:

Experience:

Mr. Enoh Jeanot Fongoh works at the Water and Climate Research Centre, Institute of Geological and Mining Research in Cameroon as a Research Assistant since April 2018. His responsibilities include designing, executing, and coordinating research operations in water sciences. He collects data for various development projects related to water resource management and contributes to the development of knowledge in water sciences. His work involves studying the interaction and genetic links between surface water and groundwater, as well as the impact of climate change on key processes in the hydrological cycle. Mr. Fongoh is also involved in understanding global changes and disseminating data and up-to-date hydrological products. Additionally, he manages natural water resources.

Education:

Mr. Enoh Jeanot Fongoh is a PhD student in a fellowship program on water resources management using environmental isotopes, jointly at the University of Franche-Comte in France and the University of Douala in Cameroon since November 2019. His research involves GIS training on spatial analysis and map production using ArcGIS and QGIS. He evaluates different components of the hydrological cycle and their implications in climate change and water resources management. Mr. Fongoh identifies the origin and processes of groundwater recharge using environmental stable isotopes for water resources evaluation and management. He also studies aquifer vulnerability and identifies sources of contamination in groundwater systems using nitrogen isotopes and hydrochemistry. Additionally, he characterizes groundwater mineralization and processes controlling groundwater composition using major ions hydrogeochemistry. His work includes manipulation of Ion chromatography system (ICS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-AES) for anion and cation analyses respectively. Mr. Fongoh is involved in writing scientific reports and publications.

Skills:

Mr. Enoh Jeanot Fongoh possesses a diverse skill set including proficiency in ArcGIS, QGIS, SURFER, GoogleEarth, Adobe Illustrator, Global Mapper, R, AquaChem, DIAGRAMMES, MS Office, spreadsheets, and holds a ‘B’ driver’s license. He is a native English speaker and has an intermediate level of proficiency in French.

Workshops:

Mr. Enoh Jeanot Fongoh has participated in several professional development programs and workshops to enhance his skills and knowledge in the field. He attended an Online Refresher Course on Post-Pandemic Actions in the Water Sector in Africa organized by IHE Delft, Netherlands (10-13 July 2023). He also completed a JICA Knowledge Co-Creation Program (KCCP) on Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction organized by JICA in collaboration with the Japanese government (October 21 to November 26, 2021). Additionally, he participated in a workshop on Ethics in Research, Research and Entrepreneurship, the importance of patent in Research and funding opportunities in research organized by the Cameroon Academy of Young Scientists (August 18, 2021).
