Role: Researcher

Melissa has recently completed her Ph.D. at Sussex University where her research explored future climate projections over Southern Africa based on the understanding of contemporary model performance through model evaluation of CMIP5 models. Key signals over the region were identified and understanding the sources of, and physical mechanisms for, uncertainty in future projections were investigated.  Melissa holds a BSc. in Meteorology as well as Honours in Meteorology (both first class degrees) from the University of Pretoria, South Africa.
