NUS Geography Now
Congratulations to Profs. Brenda Yeoh, Dariusz Wojcik, Elaine Ho, James Sidaway, Paul Kench and Asst. Prof Nathan Green who made it into Standford University's Top 2% Scientists list, which ranks the most cited researchers globally based on their research impact and academic contributions.
Congratulations to Prof Matthias Roth for being awarded a major grant under the Research, Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) 2025 plan to develop a next-generation urban-scale weather forecasting system to enable finer (neighbourhood) scales (100-300m) of weather prediction than currently possible. The enhanced system will provide more detailed forecasts for urban heat, wind flows, extreme rainfall, and air pollution dispersion. Beside leading this project, Matthias has been selected as node lead for NUS, which is one of the four collaborating centres for the project (the others are NEA/CCRS, A*STAR and NTU).
