I am a dedicated Oceanographer with extensive experience in studying the complex interactions between water systems and climate change, particularly within the context of Ethiopia’s unique geographical challenges. My work focuses on sustainable management of freshwater resources, transboundary river basins like the Nile, and regional climatic patterns affecting East Africa. Based in Addis Ababa, I collaborate with local institutions, international organizations, and academic bodies to address environmental issues critical to Ethiopia’s development. My research bridges global oceanographic practices with localized challenges faced by landlocked nations like Ethiopia.
