DanLing
Tang received her Ph.D. (Marine
Ecology and Ocean Remote Sensing) from the
Hong Kong University of Science and
Technology (HKUST). Her post-doctorates were
completed at the University of Rhode Island
(USA) and HKUST. She had conducted research
and teaching in Hong Kong, USA and Japan
over 10 years, and return to China as a full
professor of Fudan University (Shanghai,
China) in 2004. Now she is the PI for
¡°Remote Sensing of Marine Ecology &
Environment¡± (RSMEE), South China Institute
of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Professor Tang has
participated or leaded about 30 various
international research programs, including:
UNEP Programs ¡°Millennium Ecosystem
Assessment¡±,
¡°Global Environment Outlook (GEO4, 5, 6)¡±,
¡°Policy Synthesis of the Millennium
Ecosystem Assessment with Respect to Marine
and Coastal Systems¡±,
UN-SPIDER (Space-based information for
Disaster management and Emergency Response)
She also collaborates
with varies international scientific
organizations, including:
The President of PACON-International
(Pacific Congress of Marine Science and
Technology),
The President of PORSEC (International Pan
Ocean Remote Sensing Association),
Vice Chair of COSPAR-A2 (Committee on Space
Research -Ocean Dynamics and Productivity),
Councilor, the American Geophysical Union
(AGU)
Series Advisory Editor, Springer
Oceanography
Professor Tang is
personally active in research associated
with application of remote sensing on marine
ecology and coastal environment, her
research interests are ocean dynamic of
phytoplankton blooming, oceanic natural
hazard (typhoon, HAB, tsunami), and global
changes.
She has published 3 books and approximately
150 papers/book chapters, including about
100 international peer reviewed papers
(SCI).
Her research developed
new techniques and generated new knowledge,
which significantly improved understanding
of the formation mechanisms of algal blooms.
Her proposed ¡°wind-pump¡± mechanism
integrates theoretical system combined
¡°ocean dynamics, development of algal
blooms, and impact on primary production¡±,
which benefit fisheries management. These
achievements led to the development of a new
interdisciplinary subject ¡°Remote Sensing
Marine Ecology¡± (RSME).
For her research
achievements, Professor Tang has received
International awards, such as the ¡°Zayed
Award Diploma" (2006) and the PACON ¡°Ocean
Service Award¡± (2007), Distinguishing Member
Award (PACON 2014). She was awarded the
national honorary title of China ¨C¡°National
3.8 Red-banner Pacesetter¡± (2009) and ¡°100
Talents Program, the Chinese Academy of
Sciences¡± (2004). |
