This research area aims to develop an integrated hydroclimate and flooding risk assessment framework. It fills the gap in high-resolution hydroclimate data which is critically important for local stakeholders and resources managers to understand the magnitudes and/or directions of future climatic changes and take appropriate adaptive climate actions. The main activities include: (a) carrying out an integrated assessment of hydroclimate risks through the development of high-resolution climate projections (in the order of ~1km resolution) and a systematic quantification of hydrological and flooding risks in both urban areas and natural watersheds (in the order of ~1m resolution), and (b) developing a GIS- and web-based hydroclimate data portal which allows free and easy access to the latest hydroclimate data and flood maps.
Here in the Climate Smart Lab, we are a group of people developing sustainable climate solutions with cutting-edge technologies to help build climate-resilient communities. Collectively, we are working together with experts from all disciplines to build a climate-smart future for the next generation and many generations to come.
