Over the past few years, SARCS has focused on carbon and water issues. This approach of focused research support and training has allowed for the development of strong research networks, collaboration, improved efficiency, and significant outputs. The “Southeast Asia regional carbon and water study” research project, lead by Prof. Arthur Chen, was initiated in 2005 and is scheduled to continue through 2008. Funding support is from the National Science Council of Taiwan. Eighteen funded sub-projects were conducted by co-investigators from the Southeast Asia region. In addition, a series of regional advanced training workshops were conducted as a part of this project. Over 60 regional scientists participated in these capacity building events.
