Research Interests

·   the Marine carbon and nitrogen cycling processes, including the remineralization and nitrogen-removal processes at the sediment-water interface in the Yangtze river plume, hypoxia region, and the impacts on those processes from the variation of environments

·   Long-term real-time in-situ ocean monitoring system & observatory, including the spatial and temporal variation of the particles, organic matters, the biogenic matters, and the physiology of the phytoplankton in the marine system, and the short-term/long-term response of the eco-system to the extreme events, eg. storm, surge, hypoxia, and so on
