A full-time lecturer in Computer Science and Information Systems at Ashesi, is exploring upwelling of oceans as part of his doctoral thesis. Upwelling is the process whereby cold water and nutrients from the deep part of the ocean are displaced to the surface of the coastlines. The cold water from upwelling affects the environment and the local climate. It cools the weather and increases biological activities of nutrient-rich phytoplankton and zooplankton food for fish and other living organisms in the ocean. He is analyzing these upwelling events using satellite data to predict its patterns. Measuring the strength of upwelling over a time enables prediction of fisheries. Additionally, the knowledge could help minimize overfishing, manage climate change effects, increase biological activities in the ocean, and provide sustainable use of marine and coastal ecosystems.
