Biography
Marck Oduber is the director of the Meteorological Service of Aruba (‘Departamento Meteorologico Aruba’). He received his Bachelor of Science in Meteorology at the University of Oklahoma and his Master of Science in Geosciences at the Mississippi State University in the United States of America. His broad field of work on the island varies from climatology and meteorology to seismology. He is currently carrying out a PhD thesis at the Maastricht University and is a PhD student at Maastricht University and the University of Aruba.
His study interest is climatological and seismological influences on tourism demand on SIDS.

Impacts of Cyclic Patterns of Climate on Fluctuations in Tourism Demand: Evidence from Aruba
This study estimates the influence of long cyclical climate patterns of pull and push climate elements (rainfall, temperature, wind) on cyclical fluctuations in tourism demand from the United States, the Netherlands and Venezuela on a small island state. Two important atmospheric variabilities, the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), were also included. Wavelet analysis was used because meteorological and economical time-series are typically noisy, complex and strongly non-stationary. Results show that both pull and push cyclical climate factors had ... view more»
