A research study led by Dr. Shuo Wang and his team has been published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.
A research study led by Dr. Shuo WANG, an Associate Professor in the Department of LSGI at PolyU, and his team, has discovered 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 also predicts that, under a modelled high emissions scenario, the probability of the occurrence of such events in 2025–2049 may multiply by fivefold. These research findings provide scientific evidence and guidance for improving climate adaptation strategies in response to extreme weather events, which will aid in the development of climate-resilient coastal cities. The study has been published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.
