African Climate and Energy Research Group
Embedded Files
We are currently looking for Masters, Ph.Ds and Postdocs working on renewable energy, climate change, and environmental science to join our group.
Our research is directed towards the sustainable development of Africa
Mission
The ACERG is a Pan-African network of researchers who work together on a common challenging topic plaguing the African continent. Our multidisciplinary research group works on a wide range of Climate and Energy topics for the sustainable development of Africa. Research topics include but are not limited to Applied Data Science and Machine Learning, Tropical Climate dynamics, climate impacts in Agriculture, Public health, economy, climate finance, Climate Policy, Wind, Solar, and Geothermal energy, and Atmospheric Physics. This group consists of some of Africa's finest researchers in their various domains with high-impact publications. They have also won numerous research grants and are very experienced in grant acquisitions and management.
RESEARCH DOMAINS
Renewable Energy
Renewable Energy
We research advanced Renewable and sustainable energy resources and advise policymakers on strategies to harness these energy sources to drive regional development. Research areas include but are not limited to Wind energy, Solar Energy, Biomass, Geothermal, Energy economics, and Policies.
Climate Dynamics
Climate Dynamics
We research the evolution of tropical climate variables under anthropogenic climate change with a focus on extreme events such as ENSO events footprints in Africa.
Climate Impacts Research
Climate Impacts Research
We investigate the impacts of extreme weather and climate events on the economy of Africa, Public Health, Agriculture, climate finance, Climate Politics, and conflict resolution.
Atmospheric Science Research
Atmospheric Science Research
We study the optical and microphysical properties of aerosols and aerosol-cloud interactions and how these interactions influence the climate system.
