Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) has received research funding from the Agricultural Research Development Agency (Public Organization) (ARDA) to undertake a research project on developing a high-resolution (1-kilometer) seasonal hydro-meteorological forecasting system in Thailand. This system aims to enhance smart agricultural capabilities in response to the challenges posed by climate variability.
To support the successful execution of this project and to promote knowledge exchange on the application of Big Data for sustainable and efficient water and agricultural management under future climate variability, AIT is organizing an academic seminar titled ” Empowering the Thailand high-resolution (1km) seasonal hydrometeorological forecasting system (THFS) to support smart agriculture under climate variation challenges “. The seminar will be held on December 16, 2024, at the Canna Room, Rama Gardens Hotel Bangkok.
The event will feature keynote presentations on the following topics:
- The Role of Geospatial and Hydro-Meteorological Data in Addressing Climate Variability.
Exploring how geospatial and hydro-meteorological datasets can provide actionable insights for adapting to and mitigating the impacts of climate variability.
- Applications of Geospatial and Hydro-Meteorological Data in Agricultural Management.
Discussing the integration of advanced datasets to optimize agricultural planning, resource allocation, and productivity under changing environmental conditions.
- Leveraging Geospatial and Hydro-Meteorological Data for Sustainable Water Management.
Highlighting strategies for employing these datasets to enhance water resource planning, allocation, and conservation in response to evolving challenges.
- High-Resolution (1-Kilometer) Seasonal Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting System in Thailand to Enhance Agricultural Capabilities under Climate Variability Challenges
The creation and utilization of large databases (Big Data) encompassing geospatial and hydro-meteorological data have become fundamental to modern water management and agricultural planning. These data-driven approaches enable stakeholders to make informed decisions, particularly in the context of continuous climate variability. High-resolution seasonal forecasts further enhance proactive agricultural planning, allowing alignment with anticipated environmental conditions. By leveraging Big Data, relevant agencies can adopt systematic and efficient practices to promote sustainable water and agricultural management.
This meeting will serve as a platform for experts to share insights and experiences in applying Big Data to these domains. Discussions will focus on the use of geospatial and hydro-meteorological datasets, along with high-resolution forecasts, to support decision-making. The exchange of ideas will highlight the transformative potential of these tools and emphasize the importance of fostering awareness and capacity-building for their effective and systematic implementation.
