Dr. Zhang Wenxin is a researcher (Ph.D. supervisor) in the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science at Lund University, Sweden. He is also one of the principal scientists at the Biodiversity and Climate Change Center (BECC,www.becc.lu.se/) and the Center for Regional and Global Systems Modeling (MERGE,www.merge.lu.se). He is a visiting researcher at the Center for Permafrost (https://cenperm.ku.dk/) at the University of Copenhagen. His current research focuses on the responses of Arctic ecosystems to seasonal warming, estimation of global methane emissions and feedbacks from peatlands, and data assimilation of phenology remote sensing and ecological models in the Arctic. He is currently leading multiple research projects funded by the Swedish Research Council, Swedish National Space Agency, Crafoord Foundation, China-Sweden International Cooperation Exchange Fund (NSFC-STINT), Biodiversity and Climate Change Center Research Fund, and the State Key Laboratory of Frozen Soil Engineering Open Fund.
Associate Professor Wu Mousong is from the Institute of Global Earth System Science, Nanjing University. His main research area is land ecosystem carbon cycling and data assimilation. As a core member of the European Carbon Cycle Data Assimilation System (CCDAS) team, he has participated in the Swedish Space Agency and EU-funded SMOS-NEE/SMOS-Veg projects, which optimize the joint assimilation of SMOS soil moisture/VOD data and atmospheric CO2 concentration for global ecosystem carbon fluxes. He has also completed the first-ever joint assimilation of global-scale SMOS soil moisture and FAPAR remote sensing data. Currently, he is developing the Nanjing University Carbon Assimilation System (NUCAS), a multisource data assimilation system based on the Chinese Ecosystem Model (BEPS), supported by various key research and natural science fund programs. NUCAS utilizes the advantages of multisource remote sensing observations to improve regional water and carbon flux estimates.
