报告人简介：
Professor Fei Chen is a leading scholar in urban climate modeling and land-atmosphere interactions, currently a professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). His pioneering research focuses on developing and applying ultra-high-resolution, multi-scale coupling models that bridge the atmosphere, urban terrain, and hydrology. By creating sophisticated digital twin simulations of metropolitan systems, he provides critical insights into climate-driven hazards such as extreme rainfall, urban flooding, and heat stress. His transformative work equips policymakers and planners with science-based tools to enhance the resilience of cities in the face of climate change, making significant contributions to both fundamental geophysical science and practical urban sustainability.
报告简介：
Urbanization dramatically alters land surface properties and atmospheric processes, posing severe challenges for predicting and assessing climate-induced hazards such as extreme rainfall, urban flooding, and heatwaves. Traditional meteorological and hydrological models often fail to capture the fine-scale, multi-sphere interactions within complex urban environments, leading to significant uncertainties in disaster risk evaluation.
Prof. Fei Chen from HKUST will give a presentation on an Ultra-High-Resolution Urban-Hydro-Meteorological Multi-Sphere Coupling Modeling System. This framework integrates atmospheric, land surface, and urban canopy models at building-scale resolution to explicitly simulate the dynamic interactions between urban infrastructure, the hydrological cycle, and local climate. The talk highlights its pivotal role in assessing climate disasters—such as extreme rainfall, urban flooding, and heatwaves—by providing a high-fidelity digital twin for metropolitan regions. This system enables precise, physics-based evaluation of hazards, from cloud-to-street flood modeling to urban heat island effects, offering critical scientific support for climate-resilient urban planning and risk management.
