Biography:

Dr Terence Darlington Mushore is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Space Science and Applied Physics at University of Zimbabwe. He is also a researcher from the Discipline of Geography in the School of Agriculture and Environmental Science at University of KwaZulu Natal, Pietermaritzburg in South Africa. Dr Mushore has collaborated with a variety of scientists across the world in areas of Remote Sensing, Disaster Management, Agrometeorology, Hydrometeorology, Environmental Management and Climate Science. Recently he was involved in a national project which revised agro-ecological regions of Zimbabwe using geospatial techniques. Following Cyclone Idai of 2019, he was also involved in a project to help affected communities and stakeholders to understand interactions between climate and the environment. He is a seasoned Climate Scientist with experience in short, medium and long range forecasting as well as in applied Climate fields. His research interest involve efforts to understand and minimize impacts of adverse climate to socio-economic activities. Currently his research focuses on observation, monitoring and modelling the interaction between land surface and the thermal environment in urban areas of Africa using Remote Sensing.
