Logistics at the Haean Basin Intensive Field Site
The TERRECO project has established a base of operations within the Haean Catchment to support field research activities of the individual doctoral dissertation projects and cooperation between UBT and Korean universities. Lodging is provided by the long-term rental of the so-called “TERRECO-House”, a property of the family Chong who operate the local filling station. At peak times during the summer, more than 15 persons may be on site, carrying out field investigations. As the TERRECO population expands, additional housing is obtained at the Yellow Soil Guest House run by the family Kwon. Also at this location, a field laboratory room for assembly and storage of instrumentation is located in an adjacent building. Additional space for field study preparations and for informal meetings and barbecues is available in a greenhouse, one of many that play an important role during spring in raising seedlings for out-planting. Wireless internet access is available at all of these locations.
The
The Haean-Myun/ATC Yanggu experimental farm is an important partner in the TERRECO project. Facilities are provided to the project for holding seminars and meetings as well as for processing and drying of plant materials. Common interests in sustainable resource use are facilitated by the exchange of climate, production and soils data for the Haean Catchment.
