Dr. Asong has over 15 years of experience in the climate change adaptation and water resources sector. His perspective lies in the thoughtful integration of science in solving challenging climate and water resources security problems of any space and time scales. He has led a range of hydrology and water resources modelling projects, and environmental impact assessments for critical planning efforts in the infrastructure design, hydropower generation, water management, oil and gas, forestry, agriculture, and recreation sectors in Canada. He is at his best setting the vision and strategy while helping clients ranging in scale from rural community organizations, engineering, and environmental firms, up to provincial and territorial governments to navigate climate and water security problems in practice through science-led integration. He is a strong proponent of structured climate and water security risk assessments, and thoughtful application of technical climate data towards practical stakeholder needs. Elvis earned his Ph.D. in Environment and Sustainability from the University of Saskatchewan in 2016, and a master’s in Water Resources Engineering from Lund University in Sweden. Born in Cameroon, he has been living and travelling abroad since 2009. This international experience has shaped his thought on regional climate and water resources problems in cold regions such as Canada. Dr. Asong’s expertise in cold regions hydro-climatology and water resources is also recognized throughout the climate modelling, water resources and environmental sustainability communities and academic sector. He is an Adjunct Professor in the Global Institute for Water Security, University of Saskatchewan where he conducts research on hydrological impacts of climate change on the Prairies.Currently he serves as an Expert Reviewer on the latest IPCC AR6, Working Groups I (assessing the physical scientific basis of the climate system and climate change) and II (Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability). He is an invited speaker at many national and international conferences and a reviewer for many scholarly journals.Areas of expertise:- Weather monitoring and observational climate data products - Downscaling of climate change scenarios - Hydrological monitoring, modelling, and forecasting- Urban water management- Hydrogeology and groundwater resources - Water quality monitoring and modelling- Integrated water resources management- Climate change adaptation and mitigation- Data science and geospatial analytics
