Thomas Amo Kyeimiah
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.

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.
