Introducing cutting-edge research in Earth system science technology for the future society
The Department of Climate and Energy Systems Engineering held a special lecture featuring Dr. Everette Joseph, Director of the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), on October 18 (Friday) at 2 p.m. in the Ewha-Industry Collaboration Foundation Auditorium (Room 255).
NCAR is a world-renowned research institution known for its state-of-the-art climate prediction capabilities, providing foundational data for global weather forecasting in collaboration with companies like IBM. Dr. Everette Joseph, who leads NCAR, is a principal investigator on projects supported by the NSF, NOAA, and NASA, and is a prominent expert with an extensive research background in atmospheric science.
Dr. Joseph’s lecture, titled “Earth System Science with and for Society”, highlighted the advancements in U.S. climate-energy systems research, which is evolving to be ‘Place-based’, ‘Convergent’, and ‘Actionable’ in addressing social challenges like disaster response and renewable energy. He introduced advanced scientific technologies related to climate risk forecast and renewable energy generation prediction.
This guest lecture was part of the university’s ongoing efforts to strengthen research capacity in climate and energy systems. Recently, the Department of Climate and Energy Systems Engineering has been recognized as a leading research group in Korea for climate and energy research and education. The department was recently designated as a University Research Center by the National Research Foundation of Korea (Climate and Environmental Change Prediction Center) and selected as a specialized graduate school in Meteorological and Climate Data Convergence Analysis. In addition, Professor Ho Chang-hoi, one of Korea’s most influential climate scientists according to Reuters, was appointed to the Ewha Frontier 10-10 project to accelerate cutting-edge research in the field of climate and energy.
