My Climate Risk seminar

For the last summer session of the “My Climate Risk Interdisciplinary Learning Group” (MCRILG), we are delighted to be joined by Dr Masilin Gudoshava, Climate Modeling Expert at the IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC) in Nairobi, Kenya.

Masilin’s work focuses on sub-seasonal to seasonal forecasting, and her interest is in producing tailored forecasts that cater to the specific needs of various climate-sensitive sectors, such as agriculture, health and disaster management. Her role also involves collaborating with stakeholders to ensure that the forecasts are practical, relevant, and effectively utilized

Masilin will discuss with us the importance of understanding the behaviour of rainy seasons, especially onset, for informed decision-making. She will introduce us to the behaviour and change of “Kiremt” rainy season in drought-prone Ethiopia, through the paper “Characterization and variability of Kiremt rainy season over Ethiopia”. Masilin’s extensive experience in producing forecasts and communicating them to countries and communities provides a great opportunity to ask her questions also on her work more generally.

We look forward to seeing you on Monday 8th July at 1pm BST (GMT+1) to learn more about this! You can find detailed information and the Zoom link to attend the session on our website. If you want to register to MCRILG and receive calendar invitations the Friday prior to the Monday session, you can also enrol in our MCRILG list.
