A dedicated and experienced Oceanographer with a focus on marine and freshwater systems, specializing in environmental monitoring, coastal processes, and sustainable resource management. Based in Zimbabwe Harare, I combine scientific rigor with community engagement to address ecological challenges specific to the African continent. My work aligns with the needs of Zimbabwe’s water bodies, such as Lake Kariba and the Zambezi River Basin, ensuring data-driven solutions for local and regional stakeholders. With a strong academic background and fieldwork experience across Africa, I am committed to advancing oceanographic research while contributing to Zimbabwe Harare’s environmental policies and conservation initiatives.
