Dr. Jean Hounkpè is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow and Part-Time Lecturer at the National Water Institute (INE) of the University of Abomey-Calavi (Benin). Before joining INE, he served as a Consultant in Hydrology and Flood Risk Reduction at the Competence Center of the West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL) in Burkina Faso. His research focuses on flood risk reduction and management in the context of global change (including climate change), from national to regional levels. During the ClimapAfrica fellowship, he will work on adaptation to increasing flood risk under changing climate conditions through non-stationary seasonal flood forecasting at a regional scale.
