Data Intensive Collaborative Crop Research: New Rice Varieties

• Work on genes done at the International Rice Institute (IRRI) in the

Philippines

• International collaboration to develop resilient, climate-proof crop varieties.
• Marker assisted selection used to develop water tolerant enhanced rice.
• Applied DNA-sequencing to the genomes of different rice varieties
• Vast genomics datasets created, analysed, and exchanged.
• High-resolution GIS data for

– Vegetation analysis, – Yield forecast, – sustainable land, – water management

• Over 60% of the population in Cambodia

rely on agriculture for their livelihoods and rice is principal crop. NRENs &TEIN contribute to food security.

Collaborative Projects with High Societal Impact: Disaster Warning

GÉANT and TEIN provide a stable and reliable connection between the expertise and high-speed computing capacity of the German weather bureau DWD and the meteorologists at its counterparts in the Philippines. Timely transmission of global meteorological data to make local prediction of typhoons. Typhoon Ketsana struck Cambodia in 2009. High-speed networking: saving lives by typhoon forecasting

Typhoon forecasting
