Climate Change

Prof. Lu Mengqian (left) and Dr. Cheng Tat-Fan (right) from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at HKUST unraveled a key summertime atmospheric pattern that is undergoing dramatic changes due to climate change, promising to accelerate subseasonal precipitation extremes and shorten the window for disaster preparedness across the world.

For former NASA researcher Prof. Su Hui, Civil and Environmental Engineering, a major goal of atmospheric scientists is to improve predictive accuracy and reduce uncertainty in weather and climate forecasting to enable wider society to better plan for climate change. Satellite data can be highly valuable in this endeavor.
