Mechanism for Climate Changes

Climate System Laboratory (CSL) explores mechanisms of the global/regional climate changes, which are caused by both anthropogenic forcing and natural variability. In particular, we focus on various climate feedbacks, which are resulted from complex interactions among climate system components, since it is a key to determine intensity and pattern of the global/regional climate changes. In addition, we pursue to understand the various characteristics of regional climate change and investigate their governing mechanisms through theory, big data analysis, and numerical modeling approaches. Recently, we are also challenging to understand the dynamics of abrupt and irreversible climate changes, which may bring about the most critical crisis in our future life.
