Mr Chris Moseki

Research Manager: Water Resources and Climate

Mr Chris Moseki has extensive experience in water resource development, planning and management in the public sector. He is currently involved in the management of water-related climate research undertaken by academic institutions, science councils and various research institutions. Mr Moseki focuses on developing understanding of global climate change and hydro-climatic variability impacts, crafting methodologies for vulnerability assessments and development of appropriate adaptation options and solutions at various scales.  Research will also include developing appropriate quantitative understanding, tools and strategies for managing the impacts of climate variability and change as well as human interventions on the hydrological cycle and related water resources.  These aim to support the development of policy responses, at regional, national or catchment scale, to existing and emerging problems. This includes, but is not limited to, development of tools and systems (e.g. weather forecasts, model scenario projections or early preparedness).  These should be for, among others, managing floods and droughts and the effects thereof on the resources and the people who rely on those resources, with special emphasis on water quality (e.g. trophic waters) and quantity (due to increased evaporation rates and other) impacts.
