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.
