Title: 'Integrating Geospatial and Geochemical Methods to Explore Environmental and Ecological Issues'
Abstract: 
It is difficult to describe the behaviors of a landscape scaling up from an ecological system of communities, it is more difficult to study landscapes in chemical levels, thus in-depth explorations of the relationships between landscape patterns and ecological processes in geochemical levels are necessary. This macroscopic and microscopic interaction will be a crucial challenge for studying on the ecological and environmental issues in the coming decades. Thus, a fundamental question concerning whether we can detect, describe and predict ecological effects at the geochemical level has been proposed. Then, applying geospatial and geochemical integrated methods to analyze ecology and environment has its theoretical basis and practical needs.

Huan Yu is the committee member of Digital Mountain Committee of International Society of Digital Earth, committee member of Mountain Resource Committee of China Society of Natural Resources and lifetime member of Chinese Society for Mineralogy, Petrology and Geochemistry. He received a doctorate in geographic information science and mainly focused on the landscape geochemistry study using geospatial techniques, remote sensing for ecological environment, and intelligent space-time simulation of surface landscape evolution.

As the project leader, he presided over 23 projects, such as the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the China Postdoctoral Science Fund, the National Ecological Environment Changes Monitoring by Remote Sensing, Sichuan Province Postdoctoral Research Project Special Fund and other national and provincial projects; He is the editor in chief of Asian Journal of Geographic Research and deputy editor in chief of International Journal of Earth Science and Geography; He published over 90 papers in the "Journal of Geographic Exploration", "Environmental Geochemistry and Health", "Journal of Hydrology", "Geoderma", "Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science", "Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology", and other peer-reviewed publications indexed by SCI, EI, or CSCD.
