Dr Shuo WANG, member of RILS and Assistant Professor of Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI), has been awarded a funding of HK$470,350, granted by the Public Policy Research (PPR) Funding Scheme 2022-23. The title of the funded project is "Incorporating Spatial Heterogeneity of Rainfall Response to Climate Change into the Design of Slope Drainage Provisions in Hong Kong".
The proposed project aims to incorporate global climate change impacts into local rainfall IDF curves for improving the design and adaptation of slope drainage systems to the changing climate, creating climate-resilient pathways for sustainable urban development in Hong Kong. Furthermore, the proposed project will provide the scientific foundation for climate adaptation policy, thereby supporting Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan 2050.
