The Faculty of Engineering and Industrial Technology, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, would like to extend its sincere congratulations to Assistant Professor Parinwat Thanasirtheerachai, Head of the Department of Engineering Management, on the successful publication of his research article entitled “Soil Moisture Retention Enhancement for Drought Mitigation Using NDMI-Guided Forest Site Selection and Biochar Amendment” in the internationally recognized journal Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances (Elsevier), a prestigious Scopus Quartile 1 (Q1) journal.

This research focuses on the application of geoinformatics technology, the Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI), and biochar to enhance soil moisture retention capacity. The study contributes significantly to natural resource management, drought risk mitigation, and sustainable environmental development. By integrating advanced spatial analysis techniques with innovative soil improvement approaches, the research provides valuable insights and practical solutions for addressing environmental challenges associated with climate variability and water scarcity.

The Department of Engineering Management proudly joins in celebrating and commending this outstanding academic achievement. This accomplishment reflects the department’s strong research capabilities and its commitment to generating knowledge and innovations that benefit society. Furthermore, it highlights the dedication, expertise, and scholarly excellence of the Faculty’s academic staff in producing high-quality research with meaningful impacts at both the national and international levels.

The Faculty wishes Assistant Professor Prinwat Thanasirthianchai continued success in his future research endeavors and academic contributions.
