Our Research
At the Center of Excellence for Climate Change Research, our research is dedicated to understanding and addressing the complex challenges posed by climate change. Our focus spans several key areas, including numerical weather and climate modeling, seasonal and long-term climate forecasting, and analyzing the relationship between atmospheric and oceanic changes. We conduct advanced studies on extreme weather events and their future projections, assess climate change impacts on water resources, agriculture, and ecosystems, and develop adaptation strategies to mitigate risks. Our center also plays a crucial role in building a comprehensive climate database for Saudi Arabia, enabling researchers and policymakers to make informed decisions. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and cutting-edge computational tools, we strive to contribute valuable scientific insights to the global climate research community.
