Droughts and floods are among the many ways Atmospheric Rivers influence weather and water resources across Africa. Ross Blamey and Amber Sneddon (U. Cape Town) explain how these systems influence the climate across the continent, with a particular focus on South Africa.

The episode โ€œVamos ao Charco!โ€ of Biosfera showcased CIIMAR's work on these ecosystems and featured an interview with Josรฉ Teixeira, head of the Sustainability Office and coordinator of the Charcos com Vida project. ๐Ÿธ ๐Ÿ“บ Watch the episode: www.rtp.pt/play/p16211/... #CIIMARnews
