Sisay Debele

Dr Sisay Debele is a Research Fellow at the University of Surrey in the UK, affiliated with the Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE) and the RECLAIM ECR Network. His work focuses on climate change adaptation, nature-based solutions (NbS), and probabilistic modeling for hydrological and meteorological hazards.

• Doctorate in Statistical Hydrology
• Two MSc degrees in Hydrology, Quantitative Water Management, and Meteorology Science

His research spans non-stationary frequency analysis, multi-risk assessment, and the application of NbS to mitigate floods, droughts, and heatwaves. Recent publications highlight climate modeling, health system resilience, and NbS effectiveness in urban and agricultural contexts.

Key article trends include CMIP6 simulations, climate-urban health feedbacks, and NbS for flood/heatwave mitigation. Awards include the ECR Network Fellowship and GCARE Research Fellowship. Collaborations include the OPERANDUM Project and case studies in Ethiopia and Zambia.
