Nabila Afifah Azuga
Lecturer & Researcher in Physical Oceanography
Advancing marine sciences by integrating teaching and research in physical oceanography, with a focus on air–sea interactions, climate change, and coastal resilience.
About Me
I am a lecturer in the Marine Sciences Department at Fisheries and Marine Faculty. I am passionate about advancing the understanding of ocean climate phenomena and their relationship to physical oceanography. My research focuses on the intricate interactions between oceanic processes and climate change, exploring how shifts in ocean temperature, currents, and circulation patterns impact marine ecosystems and fisheries.
