معرفی
Elisabeth Thompson is a Climate Science Researcher at the University of Leeds, specializing in sub-seasonal forecasting applications across Africa. Her work focuses on translating climate predictions into actionable decision-support tools for agriculture, public health, and sustainable development.
Her research spans interdisciplinary domains including Monsoon Forecasting, Climate-Health Linkages, and Co-production Methodologies. Thompson's work emphasizes stakeholder engagement in Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, and Eastern Africa to bridge the gap between meteorological science and community-level adaptation strategies. Key themes include epidemic preparedness for meningitis outbreaks, agricultural planning under climate variability, and real-time monitoring systems for monsoon onset.
Thompson's publication trends reveal a consistent focus on practical implementation of Sub-seasonal-to-Seasonal (S2S) forecasts, with increasing emphasis on cross-border collaboration and policy integration since 2021. Her work demonstrates how climate services can directly impact sustainable development goals through localized forecasting solutions.
She actively collaborates with international institutions across Africa, including partnerships with meteorological agencies in Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria, though no specific awards or fellowships are documented in the provided materials.
Thompson's advisory work centers on training stakeholders in forecast interpretation, though no formal PhD/Master's students are listed. Her research is embedded within broader climate service initiatives addressing agricultural resilience and public health crises, operating through transnational networks rather than a single dedicated laboratory.
