During his stay in Bonn, Dr. Kimambo taught a course in the bachelor program (Advanced Physical Geography) of Katja Höreth and Dr. Pınar Pamukçu Albers. He also had the opportunity to present the results of his PhD thesis "Impacts of climate variability and hydrological modifications on blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) development in the Ngerengere catchment" in the Master colloquium of Prof. Julian Klaus.

The main focus of his stay was to establish new collaborations with different research groups at the Department. He had some fruitful discussions with different colleagues, especially with members of the research group "Eco-hydrology and water resources management" of Prof. Mariele Evers and with the ZFL coordinator Dr. Michael Schmidt.

Offoro Kimambo also visited our laboratories and the research site Gut Frankenforst. Dr. Pınar Pamukçu Albers and Katja Höreth took him on an excursion to show him some flood protection measures in Bonn.

We hope that this visit will lead to joint research projects between Sokoine University and the Department of Geography at the University of Bonn!
