Leung was honored for pioneering approaches in climate modeling, discovering unexpected impacts of regional climate change, and understanding extreme weather events and their future changes.
Integrating hydrogeology and biogeochemistry are required to model the dynamics of geochemical processes occurring in river corridor zones where groundwater and surface water mix.
An observed delay in the onset of tropical rainfall from 1979 – 2019 supports a hydrological sign of global warming seen in projections of the future from models.
New estimates show that coastlines around the world will experience an increase in the frequency of extreme sea level events at a range of global warming levels.
Knowing which bacteria in a community are involved with carbon cycling could help scientists predict how microbial carbon storage and release could influence future climate dynamics.
