Emily Black

I am a core member of NCAS-Climate staff within the land-surface group.

My work focuses on variability and change in the hydrological cycle, and the way that people perceive and experience the associated hazards. I have strong interests in African rainfall, and lead the TAMSAT programme. TAMSAT stands for Tropical Applications of Meteorology using SATellite data and ground-based observations. Within TAMSAT we provide a real time rainfall product to stakeholders in Africa and real time forecasts of soil moisture via the TAMSAT-ALERT system. We will shortly be releasing a historical and continuously updated soil moisture dataset.
