Dr.Hong Jiang

 

Hong Jiang is a senior research scientist with the Conservation Biology Institute in Corvallis, Oregon. He earned his Ph.D. of forest ecology from Northeast Forestry University, China in 1989. From 1990 to1997, he worked in Chinese Academy of Sciences, as a post-doctoral fellow, associate professor and professor in plant ecology, ecological spatial analysis and modeling. After that, he was a visiting professor and research associate (post-doctoral fellow) of remote sensing and GIS application, ecological modeling and forest ecology in Department of Renewable Resources, University of Alberta, and Northern Forestry Center, Canadian Forest Service from 1997 to 2001.

He had been studied research data management and GIS application in ecology in University of New Mexico, USA in 1993. He worked in ecological modeling and landscape ecology from 1995 to 1996 as a professor (courtesy) at Department of Forest Sciences, Oregon State University, USA. He also attended international conferences and study tours in Japan, U.K., Canada, USA, Germany and Sweden. He is author or co-author of numerous publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals and presentations at national and international conferences.  

Currently his research interests are focus on the application of remote sensing and spatial modeling in conservation biology, landscape ecology, carbon dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems, disturbance ecology, vegetation and land use dynamics.
