Dr Ellen Dyer – Climate Scientist

Senior Researcher in African Climate Science

I am a climate scientist specialising in African climate systems. My work focuses on building an understanding of key processes driving variability and change in regional African climates.
I am also interested in how climate information is communicated and disseminated along with the institutional and relational norms that influence how African climate science is carried out in practice.
I am currently leading the interdisciplinary CLARE funded PALM-TREEs project as a Principal Investigator.
