CCEH Secures Support to Advance AI-Driven Climate Prediction Research
Strengthening extreme weather forecasting and climate attribution through interdisciplinary innovation
The Centre for Climate Change and Environmental Health (CCEH) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is advancing its leadership in climate science through the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into weather and climate prediction. This comes amid growing global momentum, including investments from China in AI-driven research to improve the prediction of heavy rainfall, strong winds, and extreme weather phenomena.
Research team by Prof. Yan Honglin, Director of the Center for Climate Change and Environmental Health at NTU is leveraging AI to enhance the prediction and attribution of extreme climate events, including heatwaves, heavy rainfall, and the urban heat island effect. Research funding secured further helps to strengthen its AI-driven climate research capabilities. This support plays a crucial role in advancing the development of innovative tools that can rapidly identify and attribute extreme weather events to human-induced climate change.
CCEH involvement highlights the growing importance of interdisciplinary research that combines climate science, artificial intelligence, and health. By driving forward these initiatives, we continue to be a regional and global contributor aimed at improving climate resilience and safeguarding public health.
