**Francisca Oboh-Ikuenobe** ke mankge wa maje,tikologo,ditso le tlholego go tswa kwa Ubiaja kwa Esan South East Local Government Area kwa Kgaolong ya Edo. O tshotswe ka ngwaga wa 1962 kgwedi ya Phatwe. O itebagantse le mmudula wa dithunya,peo le nngadule mo dimeleng tse di santseng di tshela le tsa bogologolo le go ithuta mafika le ka fa a tlholegang ka teng, fa godimo ga foo ke porofesa wa Geology kwa lephateng la Geosciences and Geological and Petroleum engineering, ga mmogo le go nna Dean wa dikgang tse di amang thuto (Academic Affairs)kwa College of Engineering and Computing kwa sekolong sa ithutelo ditiro sa Missouri University of Science and Technology.

## Thuto le tiro ya pele
Oboh-Ikuenobe o tsene sekolo kwa St.Maria Goretti Girl Grammar School kwa toropong ya Benin kwa Nigeria. O dule ka BSc in Geology ya maemo a ntlha ka ngwaga wa 1983, morago a bereka e le Production geologist kwa Shell Petroleum Development Company ya Nigeria kwa Lagos, a bereka gape e le palynologist le kompone ya shell kwa laboratoring ya bone kwa Warri Delta state pele ga a boela sekolong go ya go dira MSc in applied geology ka ngwaga wa 1987 kwa sekolong sa ithutelo ditiro sa University of Ife (se jaanong se bidiwang Obafemi Awolowo University). Morago ga moo o ne a  neelwa maemo a go nna mothusa motlhatlhelela dithuto kwa Ife University, O ne a atswiwa ka Commonwealth Scholarship award go dira dithuto tsa bo doctorate kwa lephateng la Earth Science, kwa sekolong sa ithutelo ditiro sa University of Cambridge (Se janong se itsegeng ka Murray Edwards College) se se neng sa fiwa tlotla ka 1991 ka patlisiso ya gagwe ya 'Palaeoenvironmental Reconstruction of the E2.0 Reservoir kwa Kolo Creek Field, kwa Niger Delta kwa Nigeria. O ne a nna mothusa moporofesa wa geology ka ngwaga wa 1991 kwa Missouri S&T.

## Tiro e a e ithutetseng
Ka ngwaga wa 2997, Oboh-Ikuenobe o ne a tlhomiwa associate professor wa geology, ka 2005 a nna moporofesa o o feletseng gape a nna moeteledipele wa thulaganyo kwa lephateng la geology and geophysics go tswa ka 2006 go tsena ka 2014. O ne a tlhomiwa motshwarelela modulasetilo wa lephata go tswa ka Firikgong 2015 go tsena ka Phukwi 2017. Gompieno ke associate dean wa dikgang tsa thuto (academic affairs) kwa College of Engineering and Computing. Fa godimo ga maemo a gagwe a thuto, o berekile e le mankge wa ka fa mafika a tlholegang ka teng mo thulaganyong ya Ocean Drilling Program (Lg 159 Eastern Equitorial Atlantic Transform Margin) go tswa ka Firikgong go tsena ka Tlhakole 1995. Gareng ga ditiro tse dingwe o nnile ntlhopeng wa botautona, tautona le tautona wa pele wa AASP go tswa ka 2010 go tsena ka 2013, leloko le le kgethegileng la Geological Society of America Diversity mo komiting ya Geosciences go tswa ka 2012 go tsena ka 2015, motsamaisi wa Association for Women Geoscientists Foundation ka 2005 go tsena 2008, leloko la bakwadi ba board ba Palynology Journal ka 1995 go tsena 2009, mothusa mokwaledi mogolo wa Journal prospective geoscience faculty le engwe nokeng ke National Association of Geoscience Teachers le bona dithuso tsa madi go tswa kwa National Science Foundation. Fa e sale ka 2013, o ntse a le leloko la International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) Scientific Board (Global Chage Group) e e leng ka fa tlase ga UNESCO/International Union of Geological Sciences. Oboh-Ikuenobe ke moithuti o o tlhophilweng wa Geological Society of America, American Association for the Advancement of Science kwa Paleontological Society.

## Patlisiso
Patlisiso ya gagwe e wela mo dikarolong tsa palynology le Sedimentology, Palynology e akaretsa dithuto tsa mmudula wa dimela le tse dingwe le mafika.
