Physics

I'm currently working on the underlying physical processes (radiation, energy, water, and greenhouse gas fluxes) in the Atmospheric Boundary-Layer and their relationship with the climate, to propose better parameterization tools for them.

AIMS NEXT EINSTEIN Women in Climate Change Fellows
The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences Next Einstein Initiative (AIMS-NEI) Fellowship Program for Women in Climate Change Science (WiCCS) seeks to increase women’s participation in, and contribution to, to a more sustainable societal response to climate change. It is part of a broader effort by AIMS-NEI to build the intellectual capital needed to better our understanding of the causes of climate change in Africa, and to solve the myriad challenges to Africa’s development resulting from climate change.
