About
My research bridges physical climate processes and applied questions in agriculture, livelihoods and climate-sensitive communities. I am particularly interested in how climate variability and extremes interact with agricultural systems, household vulnerability and decision-making, and how climate information can strengthen adaptation and climate-risk management.
Methodologically, my work combines climate-data analysis, remote sensing, GIS, Earth observation, statistical methods and household survey data. This interdisciplinary approach allows me to connect atmospheric and environmental signals with their implications for food security, agricultural resilience and sustainable dryland development.
Research Areas
My work spans physical climate science, geospatial methods and the human dimensions of climate risk, with a strong focus on dryland and agricultural systems.
Atmospheric & Climate Science
Climate variability, atmospheric processes, seasonal climate behaviour, climate change and hydroclimatic dynamics.
Climate Extremes & Risk
Drought, rainfall extremes, heat stress and climate hazards, with emphasis on agricultural and dryland systems.
Remote Sensing & Earth Observation
Satellite observations, vegetation dynamics, GIS, geospatial data science and GeoAI for climate and environmental research.
Climate Information Services
Seasonal forecasts, early warning, climate communication, forecast uptake and climate-informed decision-making.
Food Security & Household Resilience
Climate shocks, household vulnerability, coping strategies, agricultural livelihoods, food-security outcomes and resilience.
Climate-Smart & Sustainable Agriculture
Climate-smart agriculture, sustainable land management, smallholder systems, adaptation and climate-resilient agricultural development.
Doctoral & Collaboration Direction
My doctoral research direction lies at the intersection of atmospheric and climate science, climate extremes, Earth observation, remote sensing and data-driven climate analysis . I am particularly interested in approaches that improve understanding and prediction of climate risk while strengthening applications in agriculture, water, food security and resilience across dryland and data-scarce environments.
I welcome interdisciplinary collaboration in climate variability and extremes, agro-climatology, remote sensing, climate information services, climate-risk assessment, food security, household resilience, climate-smart agriculture and sustainable dryland systems.
Featured Projects
Selected reproducible and applied projects connecting climate analysis, geospatial methods and climate decision-support.
Somaliland Gu 2026 Rainfall Explorer
A reproducible climate-data workflow using CHIRPS3, R and GeoLibre to examine Gu 2026 rainfall relative to the 1991–2020 climatology, including rainfall anomalies, regional diagnostics and interactive spatial comparison.
Adaptive Action Intelligence (AAI)
A climate decision-support initiative designed to translate climate and livelihood risk information into clearer assessments, priority early actions and actionable communication for climate-sensitive communities and decision-makers.
Teaching & Academic Engagement
My academic engagement includes teaching and knowledge exchange in Climate Science and Agro-Meteorology , connecting atmospheric processes and climate variability with agricultural applications, climate risk and the practical use of climate information for decision-making.
