Climate Change and Extreme Weather

To address climate-induced hazards in coastal cities, this direction investigates regional climate change driving factors, compound extreme weather formation mechanisms, and urban-rural microclimate evolution. It aims to develop high-fidelity climate prediction and weather forecasting models to establish a scientific foundation for resilience assessment and enhancement.
