Mahidol University has announced its dispatch of scientists to Antarctica under the concept of “Aim Far: Research in Antarctica”, which is a collaboration of educational institutions both domestic and international, especially those in Australia that are providing financial support for this research. Mr Alejandro Rivera Saiz, a lecturer at the Department of Physics, and Mr Pradiphat Muangha, a PhD student in Physics, left on their journey on January 11, 2020. They will install cosmic ray measuring equipment at Mawson station in Antarctica, to study the climate and build a collaborative network with the international cosmic ray and space physics research groups, that will help enhance the group’s capacity to carry out research in space physics in Thailand. -- © Copyright NNT 2020-01-13 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was making a joke about also freezing the balls off some of the puppet goverment monkeys, but in a different sense.

bloodyholly Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 An old pal of mine used to work as a Cosmic Ray Technician for the Physics dept in our local university, he did a couple of trips to the Antarctic +/- 30 yrs ago installing (presumably) similar equipment. Said he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. To the Thais heading down south, go forth, enjoy the experience and pass on knowledge gained to as many fellow Thais as possible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a once in a life time opportunity. This is about saving the climate....not a free holiday for spoiled students who are not used to cold and might get sick and go home. Thai better go to very warm places to do research, the outback from australia comes to mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krataiboy Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Good for them. The IPCC "consensus" has decreed with high degree of confidence that solar variations won’t influence the 21st century climate. However, there is a growing body of evidence to the contrary. Hopefully, the Madihol researchers will make a meaningful contribution towards determining whether or not the official fixation with anthropogenic global warming is outdated and unsustainable.
