Its something of a miracle that the weather has been holding long enough to enable the #ThaiCaveRescue to take place. The monsoon season is settling in all around the mountains where the caves are. /1

These images show forecast rain fall over the next 18 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours in Thailand & the latest forecast. /2

Beyond the next two days the rain just doesn't stop. Here's an animation of rain for the next fortnight. The purple colour indicates rainfall of a foot (300mm) or more. /3

[Thread: let's talk the #ThaiCaveResue, intervention research, and #complexity]

Struck by how Musk's mini submarine - “made of rocket parts and named Wild Boar after kids’ soccer team”- is a teachable moment for intervention research in #complex settings

Let's take a look at why, using complexity theory.

Musk's rocket is indeed highly sophisticated and built through 'rocket science', yet on-site it has been deemed ill-suited for this complex rescue mission

How is this so and what can we learn from it?

First: good graphics here of what this labyrinth cave complex looks like, and what the rescue entails (or, at the very least, the *known* problems the rescue mission is likely to encounter)
