Work experience
I mainly engaged in ecological protection and desertification control, for recent years as research leader in the following major projects: (1) Ecological degradation and environment management in the Tibet-qinghai plateau (2009-2012); (2) Study on desertification control technologies in alpine valley of Tibet (2008-2010); (3) Studies of eco-environment criterion system and evaluation of eco-environment value in Mining Area (2005-2006); (4) Regional ecological carrying capacity and eco-safety researches assigned by Ministry of Science and Technology of China (2003-2004). As an expert of Chinese Academy of Sciences or State Environmental Protection Administration, I used to work for The National Planning of Desertification Combating in Mali (1996) and The National Planning of Desertification Combating in Ecuador (2000).
