Dr. Oliver Moses
Climate Scientist with a PhD in Ocean and Atmospheric Science, MPhil in Environmental Science, BSc in Mathematics and Meteorology. Previously worked for the Botswana Meteorological Services as a Principal Meteorologist; duties included forecasting and running Numerical Weather Prediction models.
Oliver Moses is a Senior Research Scholar in Climate Change Science at the Okavango Research Institute (ORI) of the University of Botswana. Before joining ORI, he worked for the Botswana Department of Meteorological Services as a Principal Meteorologist. His expertise includes the following: Climate variability and change, weather and climate modelling and prediction. His research interests are mainly on large-scale atmospheric circulation and ocean thermal patterns influencing the Okavango River Basin.
