Dr. Zhong, A. President,
Senior Associate
Dr. Zhong is an experienced
climate change and forest carbon trade specialist, working since 1994 on forest
carbon sequestration, bio-waste composting and biosolids
land application for land reclamation and reforestation/afforestation.
He has over 20 year’s experience in ecological research, bio-waste treatment
and forest management, and has provided consulting services in these fields
internationally, and in recent years, he has worked with his Chinese colleagues
and business partners, extensively collecting data and information and
preparing PIN and PDD documents for potential Chinese CDM projects. He
specializes in forest fertilization, biosolids land application, bio-waste management and forest
sequestration modeling (using FORECAST, CO2Fix, CBM-CFS3 models). Dr. Zhong
completed his formal education at Fujian
Forestry University,
Nanjing Forestry University,
and the University
of British Columbia.
Dr.
Wang, T. VP, Senior Associate
Dr. Wang is an expert in developing
climate models and assessing the impacts of climate change on forest
adaptation, forest ecosystem, gene conservation, forest productivity and carbon
sequestration. The climate models “ClimateBC” and ClimateAB he developed with his colleagues are widely used.
He is also experienced in developing growth response functions to optimizing
genetic resource management for better adaptation and higher productivity (or
carbon sequestration) in future climate.
Dr.
Kimmins, J.P. (Hamish)
Dr. Kimmins is a professor of Forest Ecology, Faculty of
Forestry, University of British Columbia (UBC). Since
1969, he has taught undergraduate and graduate level forest ecology for 34
years at UBC, and graduated 41 MSc and PhD students.
He is the senior Canada Research Chair in Forest Ecosystem Modeling. Dr.
Kimmins received the gold medal for scientific achievement in forestry from the
International Union of Forest Research Organizations and the Canadian Institute
of Forestry for the development of my ecosystem management simulation models.
He is a member of the World Commission of UNESCO on the Ethics of Science. He
was nominated twice for the Wallenberg Prize (the Nobel Prize in Forestry) for
the development of FORECAST
Dr.
Seely, B.
Dr. Seely is a specialist in
forest carbon sequestration research and development. He received his Ph.D. in
terrestrial ecology from the department of Biology at Bostan University in 1996. Following that he
worked as a post-doctoral fellow developing the FORECAST model in the Forest
Ecosystem Management Simulation group with Dr. Hamish Kimmins at the University of British Columbia. He has been involved
in research to develop and test forest ecosystem management models at multiple
spatial scales, and developed process based models of stand growth and development
and application of decision support systems. His specific interests lie in
development of process based models of stand growth and development. He has
also conducted research and developed models to examine the interactions
between forest management, hydrological processes and climate change.
Dr.
Wang, J.
Dr. Wang is
associate professor of Lakehead University,
He is an expert in research and development of forest carbon sequestration and
climate change. Dr. Wang received his Ph.D. degree in forest ecology in the University of British Columbia in November 1997. He
earned his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in forest ecology
and forestry in January 1982 and November 1987, respectively, both in
Northwestern College of Forestry, P. R. China.
