Mohammed Ombadi is a hydrologist, climate, and data scientist with a keen interest in understanding and quantifying climate change impacts on hydro-climatic extremes. From heavy storms and floods to heatwaves and droughts, Ombadi is interested in studying the impacts these events have on our daily lives. His work focuses on bridging the gap between science and action, informing the development of adaptation and mitigation strategies to address the challenges posed by climate change.
