Andy Morse has a Ph.D. in Atmospheric Physics from the University of Manchester, he works on the impacts of climate variability and climate change on human and animal health. He is best known for his work at seasonal scales using ensemble predictions of seasonal climate variability on vector borne diseases. He has worked with a range of infectious diseases including malaria, Rift Valley fever, dengue and Zika. Much of his work has been focussed on sub-Saharan Africa. Andy also works on longer climate change impacts on infectious disease using outputs from a range of global climate models, using probabilistic approaches to bound the uncertainties in projections. Andy has additional interest in weather and climate disruption of other systems e.g. forests, fisheries and urban pollution level. He has over 100 journal publications.
He was co-awarded the 2006 World Meteorological Organisation’s Norbert Gerbier-MUMM International award for the work on integrating impacts models within seasonal ensemble forecasting systems. https://www.ecmwf.int/en/about/media-centre/news/2006/demeter-awarded-norbert-gerbier-mumm-international-award
