Research has been carried out with students that have informed the government on early warning and monitoring of climate change disasters, for example, Mahdi Saleh earned BE and ME degrees in computer and communication engineering from the Islamic University of Lebanon (IUL) in 2012 and 2015. During his master’s studies, he worked with the National Center for Remote Sensing to develop an automated system for measuring snow-covered regions using satellite-based remote sensing products.
The University has also contributed different investigations to determine the risks that exist in Lebanon, climate risk problems in Lebanon, including the potential impact of climate change on agricultural production, tourism, coastal resources and water.
Research is being done to prevent climate change disasters, for example.
