Professional
Experiences
Research
Associate
US Environmental Cooperative Science Center (ECSC), NOAA -
May 2002 to current
- Participating
the project of “Regional Studies in Sustainable Management
of Coastal and Marine Habitats for Decision Making”.
Doing the research study on how the land-use change and
other human activities could affect the estuary and coastal
waters.
Adjunct
Faculty
Department of Natural Resources, Delaware State University,
Dover - May 2002 to current
- Teaching
undergraduate and graduate level of GIS and marine sciences
courses at the Department of Natural Resources of Delaware
State University.
- Supervising
the research activities for two graduate students and two
undergraduate students.
Research
Assistant
September 1995 to March 2002
Horn Point Laboratory, University of Maryland Center for Environmental
Science, Cambridge, Maryland -
- Participated
the US ECOHAB project, and conducted various experiments
to characterize the nitrogen and carbon uptake kinetics
for several bloom-forming dinoflagellate species in Chesapeake
Bay, Maryland; and Neuse River estuarine, North Carolina.
Explored the relationship between the outbreak of harmful
dinoflagellate blooms and increasing Eutrophication caused
by human activity in estuarine and coastal waters.
- Doing
experimental and modeling studies to evaluate the roles
of nutrients in the bloom dynamics of marine phytoplankton
in the MEERC (Multiscale Environmental Ecosystem Research
Center), which is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) research center to make prediction of environmental
changes by extrapolating results from controlled laboratory
experiments to natural ecosystems with known accuracy and
precision.
Research
Assistant
September 1991- July 1995
Center of Marine Ecology, Institute of Oceanography, Chinese
Academy of Sciences.
-
Participated the Chinese 11th Antarctic Research Team and
involved in the project: Preliminary study of the primary
production in the Southern Ocean.
- Participated
the project the study of ocean carbon flux in the continental
margin of the East China Sea, which was a Chinese Joint
Global Ocean Flux Study.
