Prof Cherith Moses has recently been awarded a NERC High Performance Computing resource allocation for regional climate modelling research.

Prof Cherith Moses recently joined her Thai-coast project team on reconnaissance fieldwork at the project’s two study sites: Nakhon Si Thammarat Province and Krabi Province, both in Southern Thailand.

Prof Cherith Moses’s new research project, ‘Thai Coast: Coastal Vulnerability, Resilience and Adaptation in Thailand’ was recently launched at a conference held at Mahidol University in Bangkok, Thailand.

During January, Prof Cherith Moses held a series of meetings in Mahidol University, Chulalongkorn University and Thammasat University in Bangkok, Thailand. She met with colleagues to progress the work for two new research projects: (i) the Newton Fund, NERC-ESRC-TRF, research project ‘Thai coast: Coastal Vulnerability, Resilience and Adaptation in Thailand’ that started in October 2018 and (ii) the complimentary EHU Global Challenges Research Fund project ‘Climate Change, Coastal Erosion and Risks of Flooding to Low-Lying Coastlines Subject to Tropical Storms, Thailand’ that started in January 2019.

A major study aims to improve understanding of the vulnerability of Thailand’s shoreline and coastal communities to storms, floods and coastal erosion under future climate change scenarios.
