The country is celebrating another proud achievement after Solomon Islander Dr Edward Maru successfully earned his PhD in Meteorology and Climate Change from Kyoto University in Japan.

Dr Maru, who hails from Tikopia in Temotu Province, has been widely congratulated on social media for his outstanding accomplishment.

Before pursuing further studies in Japan, Dr Maru worked with the Solomon Islands Meteorological Services as a weather forecaster.

As part of his academic journey, Dr Maru published three research articles in internationally recognised journals.

His specialised research focused on cyclone studies in the Western Pacific, a field of critical importance for the region’s understanding of extreme weather and climate systems.

Many have described his achievement as inspiring, commending his dedication, perseverance, and commitment to advancing knowledge in meteorology and climate change.

Dr Maru’s success is seen as a proud moment for Solomon Islands, with his expertise now contributing to both national and regional capacity in weather and climate science.
