Postdoctoral Fellow, Nansen Tutu Centre, UCT

Research Interest: My research focuses on sea-level variability and ocean heat budgets along African coastal Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) and across Antarctica, using both in situ observations and satellite altimetry. I am also a researcher at the National Institute of Cartography, under the Ministry of Scientific Research and Innovation in Cameroon. Broadly, my work seeks to understand how Earth dynamics— such as gravimetry, ocean processes, and climate variability—shape coastal environments, sea state, and crustal structure, with a particular emphasis on Africa and the polar regions.
