Flood situation @ KU

Water inside the campus has gone down a bit. We are awaiting official announcement on when it would be safe to go back to work. However for classes it has been announced that 2nd semester classes will start on 21st December. In the meantime SEAT Thai team communicate through emails. We hope to be able to resume field work soon to cover remaining surveys for WPs 5,6,7, and WP3, as well as collect water, soil and sediment samples for WP4.

A number of relief operations are being conducted by different groups to provide food and other stuff to communities surrounding the campus who are stranded in their homes.

To SEAT Partners

Please be informed that the SEAT Project team has stopped field work at the moment due to the flood situation in Thailand. Kasetsart University has closed indefinitely as water has gone inside the campus. Other areas such as some of our survey sites have also been inundated. Project team members have gone home as they also need to take care of their own residences.

Thank you for those who have sent emails to ask about the situation. However emails related to field work may not be responded to soonest by field team.
