Climate Impacts on Extreme Weather

Victor Ongoma is a meteorologist with specialty in climatology and climate change. He is currently assistant professor of Climate Change Adaptation at the International Water Research Institute (IWRI), Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, Morocco. He holds a PhD in Meteorology from Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, China. Prior to joining IWRI he was a lecturer of Physical Geography at University of the South Pacific, Fiji (2019 – 2021), a lecturer in Meteorology at South Eastern Kenya University, Kenya (2013 - 2019), and in 2018, a Visiting Fellow at the Center for African Studies (CAS), Harvard University, USA. His current research focuses on climate change, and generation and application of climate products in decision making for sustainable development over Africa. Hossein Tabari is a senior hydrologist at KU Leuven in Belgium, currently working on the impacts of climate change and socioeconomic developments on hydrological extreme events (extreme precipitation, floods, and droughts). He has a PhD in Civil Engineering from KU Leuven, for which he received the 2016 Ernest du Bois Prize from the King Baudouin Foundation as the best PhD thesis in Belgium on the theme of water (resources, availability, and management). He has authored or co-authored nearly 100 publications in prestigious hydro-climatology journals, which have received considerable attention from scientists in the field (>800 citations per year based on WoS). He is currently serving as an editor for a couple of journals and a guest editor for several special issues.
