Thomas Amo KyeimiahAtmospheric & Climate Scientist
I am an atmospheric and climate data scientist, recently graduated with an M.Sc. in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from McGill University. I also hold a B.Sc. in Meteorology and Climate Science with First Class Honours from KNUST. My interests span atmospheric, oceanic, climate, and Earth system science. I use observations, remote sensing, reanalysis, numerical models, and reproducible computational methods to investigate weather, climate, and environmental processes across regions and scales.
Research interests
- §Climate variability, extreme weather, and hydroclimate
- §Machine learning and explainable AI for weather and climate
- §Climate-model evaluation using observations and reanalysis
- §Polar climate and sea-ice change
- §Climate–health interactions
- §Air quality and dispersion meteorology
- §Geospatial analysis and reproducible scientific computing
I use Python, statistical analysis, geospatial methods, and reproducible scientific computing to investigate climate processes and environmental change.
Featured research
Selected projects across the physical climate system
2022 – 2024 · MSc thesis, McGill University
Projection of sea-ice conditions in Nunatsiavut (Labrador)
Projected changes in landfast and pack ice along the Nunatsiavut coast by combining high-resolution CESM output with Canadian Ice Service in-situ observations, and built a lightweight ERA5 degree-day model of sea-ice onset and melt validated against thickness records.
2024 · Environment and Climate Change Canada
CMIP6 sea-ice concentration and thickness assessment
Evaluated CMIP6 sea-ice concentration and thickness against observational datasets using Python-based climate data workflows, supporting model diagnostics and inter-model comparison at ECCC.
2021 · BSc thesis, KNUST
Climate change and malaria vectorial capacity in Ghana
Investigated how temperature change affects the vectorial capacity of Anopheles mosquitoes across the agro-ecological zones of Ghana, combining climate data analysis with statistical transmission modelling. Contributed to a peer-reviewed study on warming and mosquito lifespan.
