Universitas Padjadjaran continues to strengthen its role in supporting local and regional governments in facing the challenges of climate change, particularly in disaster risk monitoring and early warning systems. Through various research projects, Unpad researchers provide scientific insights and practical recommendations that are crucial for climate-related policy and preparedness.
Several recent studies highlight this contribution, including:
- Numerical Analysis of Shoreline Changes along the Coast Batu Hiu-Bojong Salawe, Pangandaran Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia, which helps local governments anticipate coastal erosion and manage shoreline sustainability.
- The Fujiwhara Effect on Ocean Biophysical Variables in the Southeastern Tropical Indian Ocean Region, which contributes to understanding tropical cyclone interactions and their potential impacts.
- Variability of Biophysical Parameters during La Niña Condition in the Eastern Region of the Indian Ocean, offering knowledge on extreme weather patterns that can trigger floods and high waves.
- Dynamic of Upwelling Variability in Southern Indonesia Region Revealed from Satellite Data: Role of ENSO and IOD, providing early insights on ocean–atmosphere interactions affecting fisheries and coastal resilience.
- Climate Change Challenges: The Vital Role of Google Earth Engine for Sustainability of Small Islands in the Archipelagic Countries, which equips regional stakeholders with advanced tools for climate risk assessment and monitoring.
These research findings not only enrich academic knowledge but also serve as actionable inputs for local and regional authorities in West Java and beyond. By translating scientific evidence into practical strategies, Unpad demonstrates its commitment to advancing SDG 13: Climate Action and building climate resilience for communities most vulnerable to environmental risks.
