Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Extreme Rainfall Events over Three Coastal Cities in Africa Babatunde J. Abiodun (1), Jimmy Adegoke (2), Abayomi Abatan (3,4) (1) University of Cape Town, Environmental and Geographical Science, Cape Town, South Africa ([email protected]), (2) University of Missouri Kansa City, Missouri, USA, (3) Department of Geological and Atmospheric Sciences, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa USA, (4) Department of Meteorology, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria Abstract This study examines the potential impacts of climate change on the characteristics extreme events over three coastal cities in Africa (Lagos, Cape Town and Cairo), with a focus on widespread extreme events (WERE) over the cities. An ensemble of regional climate model (RCA4) simulations, forced with CMIP5 (http://cmip- pcmdi.llnl.gov/cmip5) models under two climate scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5), were analyzed for the study. All the simulations were obtained from CORDEX (www.cordex.org). In this study, we used 95th percentile of daily rainfall as the threshold of extreme events and the simultaneous occurrence of extreme events over 50 % of the city area as widespread extreme events (WERE). The RCA ensemble gives a realistic simulation of seasonal and intra-seasonal variability of extreme rainfall events over the cities. The model ensemble projects an increase in the intensity and frequency of grid-point extreme rainfall events, but a decrease in the frequency of the WEREs over the cities in the future (2031 – 2065).

    Page | 1 Name: Adegoke, Jimmy Omoniyi Qualification: Executive Education Seminars, Henry W. Bloch School of Management, University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC): 2014-2015 Ph.D. The Pennsylvania State University, USA (Geography with specialization in Climate Science): 2000; MSc University of Ibadan, Nigeria (Geography with specialization in Climatology): 1990; BSc Ahmadu Bello University, Nigeria (Major in Geography with Minors in Geology & Physics): 1985 Organizational, Management, Scientific & Personal Competencies Management: − Ability to provide strategic leadership in shared governance and executive management settings. From 2018 to 2010, I led the Department of Geosciences at UMKC as department chair and then proceeded on sabbatical/development leave from 2010 to 2012 to serve as Executive Director and chief fiscal officer of the interdisciplinary Natural Resources and the Environment (NRE) research division of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), South Africa.

Following my return to UMKC, the Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences appointed me to a Three-year term as director of the Center for Applied Environmental Research (CAER), which is one of UMKC’s interdisciplinary research centers. Most recently, I had another opportunity, this time as a consultant, to serve as Interim Executive Director of the West African Service Center for Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL) from April 2017 to December 2017. WASCAL is an international research, education and service capacity-building organization co-funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and ten West African partner countries.
