Malaysia–China Research Collaboration in AI Modelling and Satellite Data Analytics for Meteorological and Disaster Monitoring

There is much to be learned from China’s extensive experience in large-scale meteorological and disaster monitoring. Recognizing this opportunity, Prof. Dr. Kamarul Hawari and Dr. Razali Muda conducted a visit to the Guangxi Regional Meteorological Department to explore potential research collaboration in the fields of meteorology and satellite data applications.

The discussions focused on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics for disaster monitoring and prediction, including landslides, typhoons, extreme heavy rainfall, and flash floods. Potential applications in agriculture and transportation sectors were also highlighted, emphasizing the role of advanced analytics in enhancing operational efficiency and resilience.

This initiative supports the development of early warning systems and data-driven decision-making, contributing to improved disaster preparedness and mitigation strategies for the benefit of Malaysia and the wider region.
