허창회 Chang-Hoi Ho
is a distinguished professor in the Department of Climate & Energy Systems Engineering in Ewha Womans University.
He has conducted a wide spectrum of research in the field of climate analysis and modeling, and climate physics. His main research areas include cloud-radiation interaction, East Asian summer and winter monsoons, tropical cyclone (TC) analysis, vegetation-climate interaction, and air pollution climatology. Among these, he has put special emphasis on construction of the seasonal forecast system for TC activities in the western North Pacific and the North Atlantic. This model can predict possibility of TC landfalls and associated potential damages in South Korea. His current research includes projections of future TC activities over the globe, the interaction between vegetation and climate in the Northern Hemisphere boreal ecosystems, variations of extreme climate events such as heavy rainfall, drought, warm and cold surges in South Korea associated with global warming, and the construction of forecast system for air quality related to particulate matters (PM10 and PM2.5) in Seoul and South Korea. He works closely with his graduate students and post Doc in research.
He emphasizes multi-disciplinary research approaches within climate sciences by combining climate variables and various weather events such as tropical cyclones, extreme events, and air pollutions. He believes that such a multi-faceted approach will enable innovative and lading research in earth sciences.
