Advancing pharmacometrics in Africa—Transition from capacity development toward job creation
CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 407-419, March 2025.Abstract Trained pharmacometricians remain scarce in Africa due to limited training opportunities, lack of a pharmaceutical product development ecosystem, and emigration to high‐income countries. The Applied Pharmacometrics Training (APT) fellowship program was established to address these gaps and specifically foster job creation for talent retention.

Nowcasting convective cores using deep learning
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Key findings: •$$ \bullet $$ Network for Nowcasting Convective Cores (NetNCC) has considerable potential for convective storm nowcasting and the development of early warning systems for extreme rainfall. •$$ \bullet $$ Skilful nowcasts of convective cores are obtained at fine spatial resolutions (<30km$$ <30\kern0.15em \mathrm{km} $$) for up to 2 hr ...

Error in ERA5 2‐m temperature identified using GraphCast
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We identify a recurrent error in ERA5 2‐m temperature over the Ethiopian Highlands that occurs predominantly at 0600 UTC on ≈7%$$ \approx 7\% $$ of dates. The artefact is caused by the 2D optimal‐interpolation scheme assimilating temporally displaced surface reports (e.g., 0900 UTC) into the 0600 UTC analysis.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We explore the relationship between dryline intensity, convective activity, and the regional circulation over southern Africa during summer by comparing weak and strong convective drylines with each other. We find that strong drylines result in stronger convection with up to 3.6 times more lightning strokes adjacent to the dryline than on weak dryline ...

frontiermetrics: An R Package for Characterizing Deforestation Frontiers
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Deforestation frontiers are major drivers of biodiversity loss, carbon emissions, and ecosystem degradation, yet our understanding of how deforestation progresses in these frontiers is limited. We present frontiermetrics, an R package to quantify a range of metrics describing the speed, severity, and spatio‐temporal patterns of forest loss. The package
