Centre for Climate Research Singapore

Missed the Symposium on Singapore’s Third National Climate Change Study (V3)? The event highlights and full recording are now available!   At the Symposium, CCRS unveiled the latest findings from V3 as well as the Data Visualisation Portal. The event also included two panel discussion sessions: 🌏 “Future-Proofing Singapore to Navigate Climate Challenges” moderated by Prof Dale Barker, CCRS Director; and 🌏 “Climate action post-COP28: Society’s Role in Global Change” moderated by Prof Winston Chow, Co-chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group II   Watch the video for key event highlights.  Check out the full recording here: go.gov.sg/v3-symposium #ClimateChangeSG #V3 #ClimateResearch #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming

It is a wrap for CCRS at the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) 2024 Conference held in Pyeongchang, South Korea last week. With a specific focus on the Southeast Asia (SEA) region, CCRS scientists presented on a range of weather- and climate-related topics, which include: 🌏 An operational air quality model for the SEA region 🌏 Future extreme temperatures and heat exposure in SEA 🌏 Characteristics of extreme rainfall events and associated flash floods in Southeast Asian megacities 🌏 Assessing vulnerable floodplains due to sea-level rise in Singapore over the next 30 years 🌏 Contribution of the Madden-Julian Oscillation to subseasonal rainfall forecasting over the region Follow this page for more updates on CCRS’ R&D activities! #AOGS2024 #AOGS #AirQuality #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #SubseasonalPrediction #SeaLevelRise #SoutheastAsia

We are thrilled to showcase Singapore’s Third National Climate Change Study (V3) at the National Environment Agency (NEA) Innovation Pavilion at the CleanEnviro Summit Singapore (CESG), happening at Sands Expo & Convention Centre.   Come check out CCRS’ booth and explore the V3 Data Visualisation Portal interactive table. We will be here until tomorrow (21 Jun). Register for your complimentary Trade Visitor Pass today: www.gevme.com/cesg2024   #CESG #CESG2024 #V3 #ClimateChangeSG

Visit CCRS’ exhibition booth at the NEA Innovation Pavilion on 19-21 Jun 2024 to explore information about Singapore’s Third National Climate Change Study (V3) at the CleanEnviro Summit Singapore (CESG)!   Organised by Singapore's National Environment Agency, the biennial CESG is a global platform for thought leaders, industry captains and policy makers to convene, connect and consider solutions for enabling a sustainable and clean environment. This year, the theme is ‘Action for a Sustainable and Clean Environment’, with three pillars: Climate Action, Resource Circularity, and Public Hygiene.   The Trade Visitor Pass is complimentary.

CCRS successfully concluded its inaugural annual Machine Learning for Climate (ML4Climate) workshop on 17 May 2024. With around 30 participants from various local and international institutions, the workshop provided a platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange on climate- and weather-related ML applications. Below are some key highlights of the workshop: 🌏 Artificial intelligence (AI) for climate data generation, assimilation, and modelling by Prof Torsten Hoefler 🇨🇭 (ETH Zürich) 🌏 A robust generative adversarial network approach for climate downscaling and weather generation by Neelesh Rampal (NIWA – New Zealand’s National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research) 🌏 Met Office climate science and machine learning by Dr Gill Martin (UK Met Office) 🌏 Prediction uncertainties in complex models by Asst Prof Jérémie HOUSSINEAU (Nanyang Technological University Singapore) 🌏 Physics-AI – A brief discussion on opportunities for climate by Dr Chin Chun Ooi (A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research) 🌏 AI for science with modulus by Dr Yang Juntao (NVIDIA) 🌏 Accelerating climate simulation by Jeff Adie (NVIDIA) 🌏 Explainable AI for weather and climate with a focus on extremes by Asst Prof Gianmarco Mengaldo (National University of Singapore) 🌏 ML emulation of climate change projections for Southeast Asia (SEA) by Dr Chen Chen (CCRS) A big thank you to the dedicated speakers and participants of the ML4Climate workshop. As CCRS continues to develop its AI/ML strategy for weather and climate change research, the insights gained from the workshop will play a crucial role in pursuing our mission to advance scientific understanding of the weather and climate in the SEA region to benefit decision makers and the community. #ClimateResearch #WeatherResearch #MachineLearning #ArtificialIntelligence #ClimateData #ClimateChange #ClimateExtreme

Did you know that a total monthly rainfall of 50mm is considered extremely dry in Singapore, but the same amount of rainfall in a desert would be considered extremely wet? What constitutes an extreme climate event can differ from place to place. In this video, CCRS scientist Dr Chen Chen shares more about extreme climate events and some key findings from Singapore’s Third National Climate Change Study (V3) completed by CCRS in Jan 2024. She also shares how V3 provides projections of extreme events to inform climate adaptation strategies for a climate-resilient nation. “As a highly urbanised and densely populated city with abundant rainfall, strengthening Singapore's flood resilience has always been a key priority for PUB, Singapore's National Water Agency,” said Yeo Keng Soon (Director of PUB’s Catchment and Waterways Department), “V3 provide us with the latest in terms of rainfall projections for the future and other climate extreme metrics. These metrics will guide PUB in the planning and design of flood management measures to enhance flood resilience for Singapore.” Watch the video to learn more about extreme climate events and the V3 project! #ClimateResearch #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #ClimateProjection #ClimateImpact #ClimateAdaptation #FloodResilience #ExtremeRainfall #ExtremeTemperature #V3 #ClimateChangeSG
