Profile

Haosu obtained his PhD in Meteorology from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2023. After completing his doctoral studies, he worked as an assistant researcher at IAP before joining the School of Geography and Planning as a Research Associate.

He is currently contributing to the Processes, Impacts, and Changes of ANTarctic Extreme weather (PICANTE) project, where his research focuses on identifying and understanding the large-scale drivers of Antarctic extreme events. His work involves attributing these events to anthropogenic climate change through statistical and storyline approaches, analyzing changes in their frequency and intensity, and investigating trends and variability in the large-scale drivers using projections from multi-model large ensembles.

Research interests: Haosu's research primarily focuses on extreme climate events and their underlying dynamics, with a particular emphasis on the role of anthropogenic influences across various spatial and temporal scales. He investigates the mechanisms driving these events and uses climate modeling to project and analyze their future impacts. Beyond climate extremes, Haosu explores the impacts of climate change and air pollution on public health. By integrating climate science with public health research, his work seeks to enhance understanding of climate-driven risks and their broader societal implications.
