Abstract:
In my project I am investigating mechanisms responsible for the occurrence of extreme events at monthly, seasonal and longer times scales. I am also involved in study in which we are investigating the likely changes in extreme precipitation in Africa under global warming. For this study I use input data from the IPCC AR4 models.
