Introduction
Welcome to CCAWR
Research Group for Climate Change Adaption in Water Resources (CCAWR) focuses on development of novel methodologies for climate change assessments and adaptations in the field of water resources using various statistics, probability, and optimization theories. The ultimate goals of the research group are to anticipate adverse effects of climate change on Korean water resources and to propose appropriate strategies and actions that can mitigate damage or take advantage of opportunities that may arise.
Climate Change Adaptation for Water Resources
This project reviews recent progresses on decision making methods under climate change that is characterized with large uncertainty and non-stationarity. The selected methods such as the robust decision making, the real option analysis, and the dynamic adaptive policy pathways are applied to water resources planning for drought mitigation in Korea.
Development of Integrated Model for Climate Change Impact and Vulnerability Assessment for Water Resources
This project develops an integrated modeling framework that combines the climate change projection data sets for the Korean peninsula and the hydrologic models to facilitate more efficient climate change impact assessments in the field of water resources. In particular, inter-relational effects between water and other fields (e.g. health, ecology, forest, etc) according to the future climate change are emphasized, which has rarely been studied yet.
