Areas of Specialization:

Since 1986, he has innovatively been developing the high accuracy and speed method (HASM) for surface modelling to give solutions to error problem, slow-computational-speed problem and multi-resolution problem which long troubled surface modelling. HASM has been successfully applied to simulating surfaces of elevation, soil properties, soil pollutions, biodiversity and ecosystem services, carbon stocks, carbon dioxide concentrations, and climate change as well as analysing ecosystem responses to climatic change.  

In all these applications, HASM produced more accurate results than the classical methods. In 2016, the Fundamental Theorem for Earth’s Surface System Modelling (FTEM) was created on the basis of development of HASM and its applications in last 30 years. From FTEM, seven corollaries were deduced, corresponding to interpolation, upscaling, downscaling, data fusion and model-data assimilation respectively.

Academic Awards：

¨          IInd Prize Awarded to the authors of the “Millennium Ecosystem Assessment” for Scientific and Technological Achievements in Environment on the sixth of February, in the year of two thousand and six. ZAYED INTL. PRIZE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
