Mission

Long term objectives of MAIRS are to:

A: To better understand how human activities in the region are interacting with and altering natural variability of atmospheric, terrestrial and marine components of the monsoon system;
B: To contribute to the provision of a sound scientific basis for sustainable development of monsoon Asia;
C: To develop a predictive capacity of estimating changes in global-regional linkages in the earth system and to project the future consequences of such changes.

Through research, MAIRS wants to answer the following three questions:

(1) What will the Monsoon Asian region be like in 50 years (2050)?
(2) What will be the consequences of these projected changes for the welfare of the Asia region?
(3) What will be the consequences of these changes for the Earth system?
