Scholarly/Professional Summary
Professor Ebo Gabriel Imeokparia is Professor of Applied Geochemistry and EconomicGeology, Department of Earth Sciences, Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Delta State, Nigeria. He teaches Economic Geology, Petrology, Mineralogy,Exploration Geochemistry, Research Methods and Environmental Geochemistry.
Professor Imeokparia has been privilege to teach Geoscience subjects to undergraduate and postgraduate students of the university of Ibadan, (where he began his university teaching career), University of Benin (before taking up tenure appointment with Federal University of Petroleum Resources (Fupre), Federal University of Technology Yola (Sabbactical Appointment), Delta State University, Abraka (Sabbactical appointment), Kogi State University Anyingba (Sabbactical appointment) and Adekunle Ajasin University, Ajungba, Ondo State(Sabbactical appointment).
Professor Imeokparia’s primary research areas focus on Ore deposit research evaluation,Mineral Exploration, Igneous and Metamorphic Geochemistry, Geochemistry of Sedimentary rocks, Environmental Geochemistry and Mineral geochemistry.
Professor Imeokparia’s publications which spread over his primary area of research focus has been widely published and acknowledged in both International and local/national peer review journals. Professor Imeokparia’s research on the Younger Granites of Nigeria has led to a better understanding of their geological/geochemical evolution and ore bearing systems.
Professor Imeokparia is a distinguished member of International and National Associations.He is a fellow of the International Association of Applied Geochemistry (AAG),Member of the American Association of Petroleum Geology, (AAPG), Member Nigerian Association of Petroleum Geology (NAPE), Member Nigerian Association of Engineering Geology and the Environment, Member Institution of Mining and Metallurgy (IMM) London,Member Nigerian Mining and Geosciences Society, Member, Geological Society of Africa. Professor Imeokparia is a registered Geoscientist with COMEG.
Professor Imeokparia has served as reviewer for some reputable local and international Journals and has continued to mentor young geoscientists in the field ofmineral exploration and environmental geochemistry.
Out side the university Professor Imeokparia is involved in Pastorial and counseling activities serving as Chairman of Governing Council of one of the foremost International Bible College and Seminary, Benin City, Nigeria.
