Huan Feng is a marine geochemist with extensive experience in studying source, transport and fate of contaminants in estuarine and coastal systems, using radionuclides (such as Th-234, Be-7 and Pb-210) as tracers. He is also interested in developing geochemical models for transport and loadings of contaminants in riverine and estuarine systems. In addition, he has solid knowledge of the ultra-clean technique, a variety of analytical instrument and synchrotron x-ray microbeam and CMT tomography. He is also involved in studying the speciation of chemical compounds and structural characterization of geological materials including sediments using synchrotron x-ray microbeam in collaboration with scientists in the Brookhaven National Laboratory, where he has a guest scientist appointment. In collaboration with colleagues at the East China Normal University and Xiamen University, China, Dr. Feng is actively involved in biogeochemical cycle and contamination studies in the intertidal zone of the Yangtze River Estuary and Xiamen Bay Visit Dr. Feng's homepage...

Recent studies:     Yangtze River Estuary Study..     Xiaomen Bay Study...     Bohai Bay Study...

 

Mark Chopping has performed remote sensing research in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, P.R. China from 1993, including field ecological surveys, field radiometry surveys, and mapping degraded grassland. In 2007 he collaborated with Xiaoming Qi at the Institute of Geographical Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing (now at Inner Mongolia Normal University, Hohhot) on a study on the expansion of urban area in the Yellow River zone of Inner Mongolia.

 

Danlin Yu is a Geographic Information Scientist, regional scientist and socioeconomic/urban geographer. Dr. Yu applies GIS, spatial analysis/modeling techniques and remote sensing to understanding socioeconomic/urban phenomena and regional development. His regional interests include China and the United States of America. He is also active in the spatial data analysis and modeling community. With strong interests in R, the statistical language environment, he has contributed to a package for spatial statistics, spatial data analysis and modeling, SPDEP, and co-authored (with professor Roger Bivand) a package for GWR analysis, SPGWR. He is also interested in world political economy, focusing on globalization in developing countries and global city, city-region formation analysis. Please visit Dr. Yu's homepage

 

Robert Taylor also performs research on urban sustainability in the Philippines ("Sustainability, Urban Redevelopment, and Environment: The City of Manila, Philippines.").
