ILRI is a CGIAR research center. In Eastern Africa, ILRI works in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda with the aim to improve livelihood options and food security through livestock. ILRI has hosted B-EPICC’s agricultural expert Dr. Stephanie Gleixner last year and facilitated this collaboration. During his two month research stay at PIK, Tamirat will work closely with the agricultural team of B-EPICC on crop suitability modelling, downscaling of climate data and the evaluation of soil moisture products in order to support the work on his PhD thesis. His most recent publication investigates the spatiotemporal variability of soil moisture in Ethiopia.
If you are interested to get in touch with Tamirat please feel free to contact him at atomictamirat@gmail.com.
We wish Tamirat a successful stay and best of luck with his PhD thesis.
