Professor Igwe's research focuses on the contributions of organic and mineral colloids in stability of tropical soils. He contributed significantly in the knowledge of stability of unstable tropical soils which undergo catastrophic soil erosion with intensive tropical rainfall. In the face of Global Climate Change, he expanded the scope of his research to include the "Carbon sequestration in tropical soils". In his search to unravel inherent soil factors influencing erodibility (K) factor of erosion models, he published some pioneering works on soil colloidal-dispersion.[9] He is author or co-author of many peer-reviewed articles in reputable Journals of Soil/Environmental Sciences.
He is a NORAD Fellow;[10] Fellow of Alexander von Humboldt (AvH) Germany;[11] Regular Associate, International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy;[12] Fellow, Japanese Society for Promotion of Science;[2] Winner, University of Nigeria Vice-Chancellor's Faculty and University Prizes 1992/93; Listed in Marquis Who's Who in Science and Engineering;[10] and participant in German DAAD/DIES Deans Course 2009.
