Pays de spécialisation

Éducation February 2001 - PhD in Earth and Environmental Sciences, Columbia University, with a dissertation on "Climate variability between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans: observations and modeling of Caribbean rainfall." March 1995 - Laurea in Physics, University of Milan, Italy, with a thesis on "Low frequency variability in the wintertime atmosphere of the mid-latitudes and its modeling."

Recherche - African climate variability and change; drought and desertification in the Sahel; monsoons and climate change. - ENSO teleconnections and their interaction with variability in remote ocean basins; predictability of tropical climate. - The impact of climate on society; science and policy; the role of local knowledge in adaptation to climate change.
