Work experience
I have been took part in a 10 year joint project, that is, Core University program with the Soil and Water Conservation Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences from 2001. The project is being funded by the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The main subject is “Combating Desertification and Enhancing Rural Development in Inland of China”. I have been studied in subject 1 named as “Analysis on process and influence of desertification”, and mainly target the energy and water balances in the river basin using the technique of remote- sensing and numerical model.
