Adeyeri is a DAAD’s Post-Doctoral researcher at the Department of Meteorology and Climate Science, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria. His work focuses on the impact of climate change and extremes on the hydrological response and the future water availability of the Lake Chad Basin of Africa. His goal is to contribute to the universal body of scientific knowledge by exploring and theorizing phenomena in the field of hydrology and wetlands conservation as affected by changing climate. Subsequently, developing computational tools and approaches as well as new measures that improve the understanding of large and complex hydrological networks as being affected by both climate and human activities.
Climate change expertise and interests
Hydrological and Climate modelling, Statistical downscaling and bias correction of climate models, Atmospheric, satellite meteorology, climate and hydrology extreme studies, Remote sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) in urban climate and environmental studies, Regional climate variability impact on water resources.

I participate at climapAfrica because...
He is excited about the climapAfrica programme because it brings together early-career scientists from different backgrounds; working together as a team with different tentacles, aiming at a common goal. This opportunity will give him an avenue to collaborate and network with groups of professionals who are passionate about their careers which are driven by the climapAfrica's mission to advance climate science, which is also my primary goal.
