By combining satellite data analysis, machine learning technique, and modeling approach, this project will advance our understanding of the long-term impacts of aerosols on convective clouds and lightning through various mechanisms. Understanding aerosol impacts on lightning characteristics such as IC/CG ratio and the fractions of positive CG flash, which contribute to the wildfire ignition and […]

This research adopts a life course approach in understanding informal networks of care through past leisure travel experiences of older adults. It is argued that informal networks of care are important in sustaining companionship and an emotional safety net for older adults. This project aims to: Identify and analyse informal networks of care related to […]

This proposal aims to create new online educational resources on geohazards and climate change which are targeted at educators and students. The resources will be based on EOS research in Southeast Asia, providing regional case studies for educators to use in their activities, in line with best practices in education.

Urbanisation and land reclamation have resulted in sand being stripped from the riverbeds of many major rivers around the world. Although river sand mining is widespread and cause a variety of environmental problems, data on sand mining rates is scant due to difficulties in monitoring sand mining activities. To fill the knowledge gap, this proposal […]

The main aim of this project is to quantitatively evaluate the impacts of environmental pressures on the livelihoods of farmers who are facing the perennial threats of climate change, as well as repercussions from recent surges in human activities. Geographically, the project focuses on the Vietnam Mekong Delta (VMD), the third-largest delta in the world […]

This research aims to understand the development of interest and knowledge towards the environment as measured by the outcome measures of enjoyment of nature, ecocentric concerns, motivation for conservation, perspective of utilisation of nature and knowledge related to interconnectedness of plants and animals (see Milfort & Duckitt, 2010). The theory of interest development is translated […]

The Johor River supplies the major source of water and sediment to Singapore to sustain its coastal ecosystems. The Johor River, however, is currently under serious environmental pressures due to increasing human impacts without proper basin management. This could potentially be a concern for Singapore in terms of water security, coastal ecosystem sustainability, and food […]

Unsustainable sand extraction at the current rate could possibly lead to serious impacts on the environment and local communities, and affect international relations. From the environmental perspective, removal of sediment from the river channel causes river flow to become sediment-starved, thereby increasing the odds of erosion on channel beds and banks (Hackney et al., 2020; […]

Implementing appropriate Food Resilience mitigation measures aims to increase the adaptive capacity across various levels – global, national, community and household, to cope with food crises and uncertainties. There is a pressing need to increase the perception of FR Awareness and Preparedness at both household and community levels. Household FR should be part of Singapore’s […]
