Announcement Description
Cambodia is considered one of the most vulnerable countries to
climate change impacts such as extreme weather, floods,
droughts, and sea-level rise. Information of future climate
conditions over Cambodia is crucial for decision maker in
developing climate change adaptation and mitigation planning.
Thus, this sub-project aims to develop a system to post-process,
downscale, and archive the climate simulation data over
Cambodia. The generated climate data from the system is very
important for climate change impact studies that can provide up-to-date climate change information to the public, as well as
decision makers. The project is seeking for two assistants which the detail job description is in the following.
