Honored to see brilliant women at the 16th @EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa!
🌍 While a great step, there's room to improve gender balance. Let's aim for even more diversity at the next forum in 2 years! 💪 #WomenInSTEM #DiversityMatters #16UFA #17UFA
Proud moment! TAMSAT alumnus Dr Mariane Diop Kane reading the EUMETSAT ‘Cotonou Declaration’. @UniRdg_Research

@ross_maidment’s Jamiat Nanteza’s and my PhD student, Evet Naturinda presenting her poster at the Global Flood Partnership conference. A remarkable achievement considering she only started 4 months ago! @UniRdg_Met @UniRdg_PhD @liz_stephens @TAMSAT_Reading @FCDOGovUK
Very pleased to welcome colleagues from @WFP , @icpac_igad @MeteoKenya and @OxfordAOPP to @UniofReading to discuss anticipatory action and the very exciting SEWAA project!
If you look closely, you can see that Nishadh is showing a TAMSAT-ALERT soil moisture forecast @UniRdg_Research @AtmosScience @NCEOscience
Fantastic workshop on anticipatory action and early warning for extreme weather events in Africa at @UniofOxford. Great to connect with old friends from @MeteoKenya, @icpac_igad and @ECMWF

Great to share @TAMSAT_Reading work with Christian Aid
Fantastic workshop on future collaborations between Christian Aid, @UniRdg_Research and @AtmosScience
Last week, @TAMSAT_Reading teamed up with Risk Shield Consultants in Nairobi to provide training to the Kenyan insurance sector on how TAMSAT’s new satellite-based soil moisture product can be used to improve agricultural drought index insurance! #EOCIS #NCEO
Delighted that @vlboult won a prize for her TAMSAT talk at the NCAS meeting @AtmosScience
We're super proud of @TAMSAT_Reading's director, Emily Black, receiving a long service award last night for 20 years of working in @AtmosScience! Congrats @emily_black3 👏 🥂🥳
