GeoSpatial Techniques for Observation and Research in Meteorology
The GeoSpatial Techniques for Observation and Research in Meteorology (GeoSTORM) Laboratory is based at the Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology (IESM), College of Science, University of the Philippines Diliman.
We are dedicated to advancing our understanding of Philippine meteorology through cutting-edge and accessible research. Our work leverages advanced technology, numerical weather prediction modeling, high-performance computing, geographic information science, data science, and remote sensing to address the challenges posed by tropical cyclones and extreme weather events in the Philippines.
Below is a summary of our research themes; for more details, please visit our Research Themes page.
In GeoSTORM we study tropical cyclones and extreme weather to improve predictions and possibly enhance resilience against severe weather impacts.
We use data science to transform meteorological data into insights for better weather forecasting and decision-making.
GeoSTORM utilises GIS and remote sensing technologies to conduct in-depth spatial data analyses, advancing research in hazard assessment and informing strategies for sustainable resource management.
We make scientific data accessible and engaging by helping students become better communicators. By equipping meteorologists and environmental scientists with skills to interpret and share complex information, GeoSTORM aims to promote informed decision-making and active engagement with real-world challenges.
