Senior Technician
Research focuses on analyzing Sea Surface Temperature (SST) trends along the South African coast. The work examines coastal SST variations, contributing to a better understanding of how climate change impacts marine ecosystems in this region. SST research is vital for climate science, as it provides data on oceanic temperature shifts, which affect local marine biodiversity and broader climate patterns.
