Dr.
Changhui Peng is Canada Research Chair at the Institiut of
Environment Sciences at University of Quebec at Montreal (UQAM), the
member of Global Environment and Climate Change Center of McGill
University, and an adjunct professor in the Faculty of Forestry and
Forest Environment at Lakehead University (Canada) as well as guest
professors at Peking University, the Institute of Geology and
Geophysics, and Institute of Geographic Science and Natural
resources Research (China) of the Chinese Academe of Science. Dr.
Peng has been working as associate professor at the Institute
of Atmospheric Sciences at South
Dakota School of Mines and Technology from 2001 to 2003.
As a Research Scientist, he has been working at the Ontario
Forest Research Institute for Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
from 1997 to 2001. Between 1995 and 1997, he conducted his
postdoctoral study at Canadian Forest Service (Edmonton, AB) and
University of Alberta after finishing his Ph.D. from the University
of Marseille (France) in 1994. Dr. Peng is serving as associated
editor of Chinese Science Bulletin
and editorial members for Mitigation and Adaptation
Strategies for Global Change, Acta
Pytoecological Sinica,
and Journal
of Tropical and Subtropical Botany. Dr.
Peng's research interests include forest ecology, global ecology,
global carbon cycles, ecological modeling and simulation, and
impacts of global climate change and ecosystem disturbances on
spatio-temporal dynamics of ecosystem productivity, structure and
function in Europe, China, Canada and USA. Over the past decade, he
have been pursuing an integrated-systems approach that combines both
theoretical ecosystem modeling and spatial analysis with
experimental and field measurements at a variety of scales ranging
from stands to globe, with time scales ranging from past (last
glacial maximum, about 21, 000 C14 yr. BP), present, and into the
future 50 to 100 years. The focus of his recent research is
understanding how changes in climate, ecosystem disturbance, and
land use affect the structure and function of terrestrial
ecosystems, land-atmosphere interactions, and global carbon cycles.
Dr. Peng teaching interests include “Global Carbon
Cycle”, "Ecological Modeling and Simulation" and
"Forest Ecology and Management”. In addition, he gives guest
lectures in a variety of courses in China, France, Canada, and USA. To
date, Dr. Peng has authored and co-authored a total of 70
publications including 1 book, 45 peer-review journal papers, 11
peer-reviewed book chapters and research reports, 7 conference
proceedings. He has also delivered over 40 research presentations at
national and international conferences and workshops.
