This $137,528.00 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program focuses on collaborative research to study the past, present, and future climate of the Lake Victoria basin in Africa. The research team at Baylor University will use a nested climate modeling approach, coupling the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with the Community Land Model (CLM), to investigate how changes in the size and climate of Lake Victoria impact weather patterns and precipitation across the surrounding region. Key objectives include simulating past periods when the lake dried out completely, examining the regional climate sensitivities to lake size variations, and projecting future climate change impacts on the basin's 40 million residents who rely on the lake's water resources. Alongside the research, the project provides training support for three graduate students and conducts public outreach through a traveling museum exhibit on climate change in the Lake Victoria region.
