Enhancing Climate Resilience in South Asia and China: Predicting Precipitation Shifts and Their Impacts for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resource Security Team Members

South Asia's prosperity relies on dependable monsoon patterns. However, climate change is changing these cycles, leading to more frequent and severe floods, droughts, and landslides. These disasters endanger the entire region's water supply, agricultural production, energy generation, and infrastructure. This project applies an interdisciplinary approach to investigate the changing precipitation patterns and their consequences. The project will enhance the understanding of precipitation shifts and precipitation phase change in montane and dryland South Asia and China. The project will also facilitate the development of actionable strategies for disaster risk reduction and water, food, and energy security.
