Shahid's master study on center timing of streamflow in Pakistan was accepted in Journal of Hydrology. He investigated past and future changes of timing of streamflow over Pakistan using observed daily streamflow records and bias-corrected regional climate projections (1962-2099). Please check the following article link:

Eunmi Lee won the first place award with three million won (US$ 2,300) from the 2022 POSTECH OIBC CHALLENGE - 태양광 발전량 예측 경진 대회. She is a participant with two POSTECH team members. This competition mission is to predict the next 24-hour power generation at a new Solar Power Plant at Gwang Myeong using the past two-year data from 20 adjacent solar power plants.

Our paper about the sub-seasonal prediction skill for recent multi-year Korea droughts was accepted for publication in Asian-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Sciences.
This study assessed the prediction skill of precipitation anomalies from multiple SubX models during the recent multi-year droughts over the Korean Peninsula. The assessment for predictive performance of the SubX models was conducted via multiple verification metrics. This article is an open-assess article.

Dr. Park's recent work on Self-Calibrating Effective Drought Index (scEDI) was accepted in Journal of Hydrology (JIF: 6.7; 13/200 in Geosciences, Multidisciplinary). This paper was to investigate the impact of temporally self-calibrating on Effective Drought Index and compare the scEDI-based drought detection and associated social impacts from the drought reports from Annals of Joseon Dynasty and the online information search activity volume data from Google Trends and NAVER DataLab. <click>
