Alfonso Fernández is a Physical Geographer with interests in hydroclimatic sciences. He obtained a Bachelor in Geography at the Universidad de Chile, and a Masters in Sciences (Freshwater resources) at the Universidad Austral de Chile. He completed his Ph.D. in Geography at the Ohio State University (2014). Alfonso's doctoral research examined glacier-climate interactions in South America, using climatic observations and (glaciologic and climatic) numerical modeling. As a MORSL-postdoctoral fellow, he will be analyzing available climatic observations in the Logone floodplain and its surroundings, as well as performing hydroclimatic modeling using IPCC projections.
