3.1 To produce high-resolution composite records of Asian summer monsoon over the past few centuries based on stalagmites and tree rings collected from Northern, Northwestern, and Southern Thailand.
3.2 To reconstruct and synthesize the large-scale and long-term dynamic changes of the Holocene Asian monsoon based on stalagmites from the two Asian monsoon regions (Yunnan and Fujian, China) and one transition region (Mae Hong Son, Thailand).
3.3 To investigate both short-term and long-term driving mechanisms of the Asian monsoon circulation and its teleconnection to global climate change.
3.4 To carry out a systematic cave and climate monitoring program in Thailand for better understanding of climate signal derived from stalagmites and tree rings.
3.5 To improve public understanding of climate change and palaeoclimate science.
