Earth Surface Process and Comprehensive Disaster ReductionBackgroundThe institutions involved are college of Resources Science and Technology, Academy of Disaster Reduction and Emergency Management ,Ministry of Civil Affairs & Ministry of Education, College of Global Change and Earth System Science, State Key Laboratory of Earth Surface Processes and Resource Ecology. The platform offers the first-level discipline of geography, one of the National Key Disciplines, the inter-discipline of natural resources, one of Beijing Key Disciplines, 4 subjects under first-level disciplines (i.e., geography, ecology, public administration, and surveying and mapping) for which diplomas can be awarded, 6 subjects for doctoral programs, and 10 subjects for master degree programs. The platform consists of the State Key Laboratory of Earth Surface Processes and Resource Ecology, the Key Laboratory of Environmental Change and Natural Disasters of the Ministry of Education, the Natural Medicine Engineering Center of the Ministry of Education, the Engineering Center of Desertification Prevention and Control of the Ministry of Education, Beijing Key Laboratory of Protection and Utilization of Resources for Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Beijing Engineering Technology Center of Desertification Prevention and Control.ObjectivesFor the platform, numerous talents will be hired including 5 to 7 high-level leading talents(Thousand Person Plan) in ecology, climate dynamics, land resource science, remote sensing information, disaster risk management and cytobiology, pharmaceutical chemistry, and be hired or trained 5 to 6 leading academic figures. Efforts will be made to bring in or train 2 to 3 outstanding youths (or Changjiang Scholars) and to build a national innovation team in “researches of earth surface processes and natural disasters” and MOE innovation teams in “researches of earth surface processes and natural disasters” and “simulation of the Earth system”.The degree of internationalization of the personnel will be improved by joint training of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers Thesis of high quality will be published in the top-class international journals to lead the development of related disciplines. ContentsThe platform will actively cooperate with renowned international colleges and research institutes, together with whom research subjects will be applied for and researchers and graduate students will be exchanged and trained at fixed period. With a creative platform, we will proactively participate in the investigation and researches in important national issues in society, economy, ecosystem, and environment, prepare consultant reports for high-level governments, and serve in related decision making and implementation of the country.(1) Systematic researches in earth surface processes and resources and ecology, including researches in earth surface processes, resources and ecology, modeling of earth surface system and researches in the simulation. Based on the ecotone between agriculture and pasture in North China and the ecotone between the sea and the land, a comprehensive prevention model will be established and developed for regional natural disasters and ecological environmental risks. (2) Systematic researches in the science of natural resources, including the ecohydrology process and model of ecological and hydrological effects, the Eco-productive Paradigm in the ecotone between agriculture and pasture, carbon and nitrogen coupling,developing model of the process of land use/land cover, response mechanisms of forests and grasslands to global changes, effective ingredients in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the process and mechanism of accumulation and gathering of heavy metals. A complete resource monitoring system will be built. (3) Systematic researches in disaster prevention and reduction, including comprehensive simulation system of natural disasters and air-earth joint monitoring system for emergency response to major disasters. (4) Researches in simulation of the Earth system. By means of simulation models of BNU-ESM and brought in, interactions between human activities and the Earth system are quantitatively diagnosed and assessed. Researches will be performed in prediction method for multi-model ensembles and in multi-spherical interaction mechanisms. |
