context_page_description: Fadji Zaouna Maina is a Nigerien scientist working in the field of hydrogeology at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. She uses computational model using supercomputers to study the effects of climate change on water sustainability and predict future needs. Her research has demonstrated that wildfire in California counterintuitively increase the water availability in the watersheds, as the barren lands impact the snowpack dynamics. She also studies the potential effects of drought in African Sahel region, advocating for a holistic response including girl education and family planning, increase in agricultural production and local security.
