Singapore is experiencing the effects of climate change, with hotter temperatures and more intense rainfall. To better understand the impact of climate change on vulnerable regions like Singapore, researchers from Singapore have conducted expeditions to Antarctica and the Arctic.
In Antarctica, Singaporean researchers joined forces with Chinese and American scientists over a four-year period to study the impact of climate change on glaciers. The team observed the melting of glaciers and how it contributes to rising sea levels. Using technology like drones and radar, the researchers collected data on the glaciers. The findings of the study highlight the urgent need for action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change.
The Singaporean researchers also collaborated with Norwegian scientists on an expedition to the Arctic. The purpose of the expedition was to study the effects of climate change on Arctic ecosystems and communities. Advanced technology such as unmanned aerial vehicles and underwater drones were used to collect data on the impact of climate change on the Arctic. The findings from the expedition will be used to develop strategies for mitigating the effects of climate change in the Arctic.
The effects of climate change are not limited to the polar regions. Singaporean researchers have observed the impact of climate change on their own country. The findings of the expeditions to Antarctica and the Arctic highlight the urgent need for action to mitigate the impacts of climate change on vulnerable regions like Singapore.
The expeditions to Antarctica and the Arctic conducted by Singaporean researchers and their international collaborators have shed light on the effects of climate change on glaciers and Arctic ecosystems and communities. The findings of the studies emphasize the urgent need for action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change on vulnerable regions like Singapore.
