EOS Director, Professor Horton looks back on 2020
|
|
2020 introduced a “new normal” to EOS like everywhere else. The global lockdown prevented EOS scientists from traveling to their research sites across Southeast Asia. We've leveraged technology such as remote sensing and infrasound monitoring and mobilised our network of local collaborators to ensure we can continue to collect our data from around the region. We’ve conducted more research in Singapore than ever before. We continue to publish our research in leading scientific journals and take part in conferences, albeit virtual. Despite the pandemic, we have jointly launched two exhibitions in Singapore and launched a documentary TV series.
