A research conducted by Dr WANG Shuo, Member of RISUD and Associate Professor in the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI), and his team has found that the concurrent occurrence of heatwaves and extreme short-term sea level rises at coastal locations significantly increased between 1998 and 2017 when compared to the preceding 20 years.

The study has been published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.
