It's #WorldWaterDay (22 Mar). In Vietnam, the Mekong Delta is a vital agricultural and economic hub, supporting millions of people through its rivers, fertile soils, and groundwater resources. Yet the region is facing elevation loss. An #EOSsg study examines the key drivers behind this issue and outlines solutions to slow it. bit.ly/4cUAclb

With warmer weather expected in Singapore from July due to #ElNiño, #EOSsg scientist Professor Adam Switzer spoke with The Straits Times about its impacts across Southeast Asia. straitstimes.com/singapore/envi…

Even if a #river appears calm, hidden currents may still be present. Assoc. Prof. Edward Park, a Principal Investigator at #EOSsg, told The Straits Times that underlying flow & localised currents, especially near bends or structures, can be hazardous. straitstimes.com/singapore/kall…

Prof. Timothy Bonebrake from @HKUniversity will be the guest speaker at next Tuesday’s #EOSsg–@ntu_ase Seminar. Find out what he’ll be sharing at the event: bit.ly/4s2KtQp

Recently, the #EOSsg Centre for Geohazard Observations conducted fieldwork in Indonesia. Working with @PVMBG_, the team repaired and maintained stations that support collaborative research and monitoring activities. Thanks to the team for their vital support!

This International Women’s Day (8 March), we highlight research by some of our women colleagues at #EOSsg, whose work pushes the boundaries of knowledge and contributes to science and society for a more resilient future. #IWD2026 @ntu_ase

Following the magnitude-7.1 #earthquake off the coast of Sabah, Malaysia, on 23 Feb, #EOSsg scientists Associate Professor Tong Ping & Assistant Professor Aron Meltzner explained why minor ground motions were detected in Singapore. @ntu_ase straitstimes.com/singapore/mino…

#ClimateRisks too hot to ignore: #ElNino is not just a fleeting climate phenomenon – it causes long-term societal and economic shock. A new #NTUsg-led study has found that the intensifying El Niño events could cut life expectancy by up to 2.8 years by 2100 and lead to US$35 trillion in economic losses. The findings underscore the urgent need for stronger #ClimateChange adaptation, early warning systems, and long-term planning. ntu.sg/ElNino-Study #NTUsgResearch #NTUsgInterdisciplinary #NTUsgSustainability @NanyangBizSch @EOS_SG @NatureClimate @NaturePortfolio

The next EOS-@ntu_ase Seminar takes place on 13 Jan 2026. Prof. Sigurjón Jónsson from @KAUST_News will share three new lessons from satellite radar and seismic data, and models of recent devastating #earthquakes in Myanmar and Türkiye. bit.ly/49njreH

#EOSsg scientist, Professor at @ntu_ase, and Director of the Centre for Climate Change and Environmental Health, Steve Yim, spoke with CNA about transboundary #haze and how El Niño contributes to its severity. channelnewsasia.com/listen/daily-c…

Happy New Year! In 2026, we look forward to deepening collaboration with our partners and the scientific community to advance resilience and sustainability in Southeast Asia. #2026 #NewYear

As we close 2025, we look back on a year shaped by impactful research, regional collaboration, and meaningful engagement with communities across Southeast Asia. From advancing geohazard science to strengthening climate resilience, #EOSsg has continued to address some of the most pressing geohazards and climate challenges facing Singapore and the wider region.
