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.
