PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

¡¡¡¡Since 1986, he has innovatively developed the high accuracy and speed method (HASM) for surface modelling to give solutions to error problem, slow-computational-speed problem and multi-resolution problem which long troubled surface modelling. The surface here means a raster expression of a region or one of its eco-environmental properties. HASM has been successfully applied to simulating surfaces of elevation, soil properties, nature (including biodiversity and ecosystems), ecosystem services (including food provision and carbon stocks), and drivers of changes (including carbon dioxide concentrations, climate change, land use/cover change, and population distribution) as well as COVID-19 transmission dynamics. In all these applications, HASM produced more accurate results than the classical methods. In 2016, a Fundamental Theorem for Earth¡¯s Surface System Modelling (FTESM) was created by summarizing theoretical development of HASM and its applications in last 30 years. From FTESM, seven corollaries were deduced, corresponding to spatial interpolation, spatial upscaling, spatial downscaling, data fusion and model-data assimilation respectively. In 2020, a fundamental theorem for eco-environmental surface modelling (FTEEM) was proposed in order to apply it into the fields of ecology and environmental sciences more easily after FTESM. ¡¡¡¡
