Anke participates in workshop in Bangkok

In January, Anke traveled to Bangkok to take part in a workshop organized by Denis Cumming (University of Sheffield) and Vissanu Meeyoo (Mahanakorn University of Technology). Funded by the British Council and the Thailand Research Fund, the workshop aimed to bring together researchers from Thailand and the UK working on energy storage and water treatment to develop novel research ideas for sustainable shrimp farming. The field trip to a working organic shrimp farm was very illustrative and inspiring and Anke made many new connections with researchers from the UK and Thailand during the workshop.

The organic shrimp farm, set in a beautiful landscape.
The group investigating the ponds and the aeration system.
There is definitely scope for studying sediment redox reactions that are going on at the bottom of the ponds!
Bangkok: the self-proclaimed City of Life!
Definitely futuristic.
Urbanization…
…brings many issues.
Waterways are criss-crossing the city and carry highly polluted water.
There is much water to be cleaned!
