FRACTAL: RESEARCHERS

Bamba Adama

Role: Early Career Researcher

Adama did his Ph.D. in meteorology and climate science at the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) in Nigeria. Since January 2016 he has been recruited as an assistant lecturer and researcher at the laboratory of atmospheric physics and fluid mechanics of physic department of University Felix Houphouet Boigny (UFHB), Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire. Adama is working as a researcher on the AMMA-2050 project on behalf of UFHB and research board member of African Excellence Center on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Agriculture. He also does some consultancy in the climate change domain.

Dr Christopher Taylor

Role: Principal Investigator

The principal lead of AMMA-2050, Chris is interested in how the properties of the land surface: soil moisture and vegetation cover, influence weather and climate. His work has been motivated by the need to understand the climate of semi-arid regions in West Africa. For IMPALA, Chris aims to deliver an Afro-centric development of aspects of the Met Office Unified Model and improve aspects of the land surface model JULES in its simulation of surface energy and water fluxes over typical African landscapes.
