Reuben Sebego is a physical geographer by training. He received the B.Sc. degree in range science from Utah State University, Logan, UT, USA, and the M.Sc. degree in Environmental Planning from the University of Botswana. His main research interests lie in rangeland/landscape ecology and land use and land cover mapping using GIS and remote sensing. He worked in the Ministry of Agriculture for many years before joining the University of Botswana as a Lecturer in the Department of Environmental Science. At the University of Botswana, he teaches courses on GIS, ecology and remote sensing to both graduate and undergraduate students.
