Climate Lab

School of Energy and Environment
City University of Hong Kong

Climate Lab's research emphasizes the understanding of climate system dynamics and providing accurate future climate change projections based on carbon-climate feedback research.

Research Interests

​

  • Climate variability and relevant ecosystem productivity response

  • Climate risk on carbon neutrality, agricultural productivity, and wildfire

  • Carbon uptake evolution in Hong Kong and East Asia under greenhouse gas warming scenarios

  • Developing parameterization for fire dynamics

  • Methane emission from wetland and its future projection
