A collaborative research paper by Yamaguchi University and New Space Intelligence was published in the international journal Water (MDPI) on February 21, 2026.
Paper Abstract: This study uncovers strong spatiotemporal heterogeneity and non-stationarity in extreme precipitation across the Ayeyarwady River Basin (Myanmar's most vital watershed) over 66 years (1958–2023), while establishing clear linkages to global climate oscillations such as ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation) and IOD (Indian Ocean Dipole).
Practical Significance
This study visualizes localized extreme weather risks often overlooked in basin-wide averages. The results numerically demonstrate that flood risks vary significantly across different locations within the same basin. These findings enable tailored flood risk assessments and contribute to advanced, climate-adaptive water management and disaster mitigation strategies.
