Research Team
South China Sea U-Team for Comprehensive Research on Ecological Environment and Rights via Remote Sensing
Group Profile
The research team is at the frontier of marine science and closely aligns with China’s national marine strategies, conducting comprehensive studies on ecological environments and rights in the South China Sea, with remote sensing as its primary methodology.The team concentrates on the critical areas along the U-shaped maritime boundary line, employing interdisciplinary approaches to systematically investigate air-sea interactions, dynamic changes in ecological environments, and the development of equipment for gas hydrate resource exploration. These efforts have led to significant academic achievements.
In theoretical research, the team proposed the "Wind Pump Ecological Effect" framework, which integrates artificial intelligence and big data technologies. This framework offers deep insights into the mechanisms driving typhoon-induced ecological changes in the South China Sea, providing a scientific foundation for understanding regional environmental dynamics.
In terms of technological innovation, the team has independently developed a state-of-the-art underwater gravimeter, which won the Gold Award at the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Doctoral and Postdoctoral Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition. This innovation provides high-precision support for deep-sea scientific exploration and resource detection.
Additionally, the team has advanced satellite remote sensing studies of marine atmospheric methane, uncovering the ocean's pivotal role in the global carbon cycle and offering crucial data to address climate change. By integrating satellite remote sensing technologies with intelligent data analysis, the team has applied these advancements to the construction of modern marine ranches. This application enhances ecological monitoring and resource management efficiency, offering robust technical support for sustainable fisheries development.
The team has actively participated in the establishment of three key platforms: Guangdong Remote Sensing Center for Marine Ecology and Environment (GDRS), Guangdong Engineering Technology Research Center of Modern Marine Ranching (GDTEMR), Guangdong R&D Center for Modern Marine Ranching (GDMR).
The team collaborates with multiple universities, including the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) (Red Bird Program), Southern University of Science and Technology, Guangdong University of Technology, and Guangzhou University, to train multiple doctoral and master's students.
