RESEARCH APPROACH

Our research project aims to address climate risk, adaptation, and resilience in a comprehensive and impactful manner with a systematic flow as outlined below: 

1. Modelling for Hazard Prediction:

Our interdisciplinary team employs advanced modelling techniques to identify climate issues. By integrating hazard sub-km scale modelling analysis, we can accurately predict potential risks at a very fine spatial resolution. Team members include (Click to view full faculty profile): 

2. Risk Assessment through Hazard Prediction:

To fully understand and assess the exposure and vulnerability of these climate issues, we rely on local understanding, data, and community engagement. Through this collaborative effort, we develop hazard maps, risk maps, and user-friendly apps tailored to support comprehensive risk assessments.

3. Warning Systems for Enhanced Resilience:

Building upon our research findings, we work closely with communities and collaborate with government entities to establish both general and personalized early warning systems. By developing emergency protocols and establishing local/regional support networks, we aim to enhance community resilience and preparedness. Collaborators include:

4. Showcasing Best Practices:

We continuously repeat the research process to identify and develop best practices. These practices are then showcased through educational and training initiatives, ensuring that climate risk data is accessible and useful to all. Furthermore, these efforts contribute to capacity building within local communities, empowering them to effectively respond and prepare for extreme events.
