Dr. Le Toan Thuy, an overseas Vietnamese scientist in France, has joined projects to help Vietnamese managers and farmers effectively develop rice cultivation models in the Mekong Delta region. In the last five years, Thuy involved herself in three projects – Georice hosted by the European Space Agency (ESA), GEMMES Vietnam funded by the French Development Agency (AFD), and VietSCO jointly implemented by the French Space Agency and the Vietnam National Space Centre. The projects aim to monitor and observe flood, drought and saltwater intrusion in the Mekong Delta by satellites, thus analysing their impact on rice yield, building a future simulation scenario of climate change and human impacts, and making predictions about effects on the region in the future.
