Work experience
Since 1991, I have continued the surveys to monitoring environmental changes at arid and semiarid regions as Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Mongolia and western part of China (Xingiang Uygur region). My main target for research is to presume long-term environmental histories using geological and GIS techniques at enclosed saline lakes and basins. The detail water environmental changes were discussed by my field surveys at the above regions. Because the water environment was one of the most important factors for civilization and cultivation at desert regions, my project has strong connection to archeological and historic surveys, too. I would like to discuss the relationship between human civilizations and environmental histories in arid regions.
