Mr. MELKAMU MEKONEN | climate change | Best Researcher Award

I’m Melkamu Kassaye Mekonen; I graduated with my BSc in Forest and Nature Conservation at Mekelle University in Ethiopia, and the University of Gondar in Ethiopia awarded me a MSc degree in Forest Management and Utilization. Currently, I serve as a researcher and instructor in the department of forestry and climate science at Injibara University, Ethiopia. I bring with me four years of research and five years of education, research, and community-based project experiences in the forestry, environment, and agricultural fields. My aspiration is to pursue a PhD in Forestry, focusing on natural forest optimization and ecological interaction and management of bamboo forest resources, either in China or Ethiopia, in collaboration with supervisors.

About My Education, Experience, and Academic Achievements šŸŽ“

I graduated with a Bachelorā€™s Degree in Atmospheric Science from Nanjing University and am currently pursuing my doctorate in Atmospheric Physics and Atmospheric Environment at the same esteemed institution. During my undergraduate years, I actively engaged in the National Innovation and Entrepreneurship training program, where my research on indoor and outdoor air quality was published in Aerosol and Air Quality Research in 2020. Now, during my doctoral studies, my research on the impacts of northward typhoons on autumn haze pollution over the North China Plain has been recently published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres. Proficient in analyzing diverse datasets and utilizing regional climate models, I aim to delve deeper into the interaction between typhoons and aerosols, contributing to the field of atmospheric science.

About My Contribution to Research & Development, Innovations, and Extension Activities šŸŒ

My research has shed light on the significant role of northward typhoons in autumn haze pollution over the North China Plain. By analyzing ground-based and satellite observations, reanalysis data, and model simulations, we identified the mechanisms behind rapid PM2.5 increases during these events. Our findings underscore the importance of synoptical weather patterns in haze pollution and provide insights for mitigating haze exposure in affected regions. I aim to further explore the interaction between typhoons and aerosols, contributing to our understanding of atmospheric processes and aiding in the development of strategies for improving air quality.
