Work experience
1. RAISE Project, director, 2002-2008, Rangelands Atmosphere-Hydrosphere-Biosphere Interaction Study Experiment in Northeastern Asia. This was a project to investigate into the recent environmental changes that is taking place in Asian steppe region, with forcus onto the Mongolian grasslands, and interaction between hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere. _x000D_
2. P3 project, PI, 2008-, Collapse and Restration of Ecosystem Networks with Human Activity, in Mongolian steppe region. Vegetation use of water, sustainable groundwater use are two specific research targets._x000D_
3. Sustainable Systems for Food and Bio-energy Production under Water-saving Irrigation in the Egyptian Nile Basin project. 2009-, PI.
