Mangroves are some of the richest ecosystems in terms of biodiversity. They are now attracting growing interest for their ecosystem services such as the protection of fauna and flora or coastal defense against rising sea levels or tsunamis. To better protect them, scientists from the RESCuE team have developed an algorithm to ensure effective, automatic…
Third International Workshop Of Mangrove Modelling
Third International Workshop Of Mangrove Modelling 3rd – 15th December 2018 at the TU Dresden, Institute of Forest Growth and Forest Computer Sciences This workshop was to conceptually advance mangrove modelling by incorporating fundamental ecophysiological research with modelling design concepts. Topic 1: Fixing Salinity: Finding Salinization and Leaching Equilibrium It is common knowledge that salinity…
The German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and the International Bureau of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) Representatives have visited the Thailand Consortium Members
On 25 January, 2019, the DLR and BMMF delegation headed by Adele Clausen and Michael Wilkinson ZSI, of Austria, visited the Thailand Consortium Members at Kasetsart University, Bangkok. Uday Pimple and Aor Prachai performed a short presentation (Thailand Consortium Members), introducing the RESCuE Project with a discussion of past, ongoing and future activities in Thailand,…
Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) meeting for research collaboration and knowledge dissemination
Coastal zone planning and management is largely a state/territory responsibility, with day-to-day decision making the responsibility of local governments. However, the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) Thailand has an important influence on coastal environmental policy and planning for sustanable development of Thailand coastal areas and communities. The first meeting of RESCuE project between…
Field survey – Trat Province of Thailand
29/12/2018 Our monitoring work of the Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Mangrove Forest Zonation Process and Structure in the Trat Province of Thailand continues to highlight the long-term interest in Mangrove Forest Restoration. The RESCuE project passed a significant milestone with the first transect line survey that was performed over a two week period at the end…
Mangrove Ecosystem Monitoring System: Wireless Field Router and SNR Sensors
3/11/2018 As part of the RESCuE project, researchers measure the environmental, phenological and spectral values of a mangrove forest to determine how the mangrove ecosystem is changing and how best to proceed with restoration efforts. To determine how the mangrove ecosystem is changing, given the harsh environments that are likely to be encountered, the project…
Kick-off meeting
8 – 12/3/2018 The mangrove forest provides many beneficial goods and services but also pose a risk to coastal populations. However, current knowledge of mangrove forests in Thailand and Vietnam remains limited and highly uncertain for sustainable management and future rehabilitation such as species composition, carbon stock, height, density and canopy closure. The project RESCuE…
