Research Interests:
Dr Aschale’s work centres on understanding the impacts of climate extremes and long-term climate change on infrastructure, ecosystems, and society. His key research areas include:
· Climate risks to energy infrastructure, including the impacts of extreme weather on renewable energy systems and critical services.
· Urban climate resilience, focusing on hazards such as flooding and heat stress and their implications for infrastructure planning.
· Hydroclimatology and agriculture, examining how rainfall variability, evapotranspiration, and soil moisture influence agricultural productivity and drought monitoring.
· Integrated climate risk assessment, using climate data, remote sensing, and modelling approaches to support decision-making in vulnerable and data-scarce regions, including parts of Africa.
