INVITATION: REGIONAL CLIMATE MODELLING IN AFRICA

9 Jun 2006

Global climate change research seem to emphasis regional climate modelling. Africa needs to be involved in this dimension because of her importance to the understanding of climate change. The aerosol loadings, sea surface temperature around the equator, anthropogenic gases emissions, ecological changes and changing incoming solar radiation are the areas we need to work on. Who's going to join this move!

Thats a lovely idea. I'm an electronic/Electrical Engr. focusing on Systems Control. Modelling is an integral part of that. I'll suppose you to be the lead facilitator for this and expect you to suggest where I can be of help here. Cheers Joel

economic impact of climate

By Gaell

economic impact of climate change in Africa For information, a prospective study of the potential consequences of climate change for Africa is underway: "Climate change represents a nightmare scenario for the future of the people of the world's poorest continent, according to the official preparing a top- level report which is due to land on the desks of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown in later this year. Emerging analysis seen by the Stern Review into the economic impact of climate change suggests one of the worst affected places on the planet will also be the poorest." ... "The report, by Sir Nick Stern, head of Government Economic Policy, is due to be completed in October. " source: http://news.independent.co.uk/environment/article485005.ece

By Anonymous

What is your area of specialization? and what can you contribute to any of these: 1) data collection 2) data assimilation 3) modelling/simulation 4) policy development if you can be useful in any of these, then you are in. Hoping to hear from you soon. Thanks.
