教学目的要求
Climate Change 2020 spring semester is designed as an introductory course plus our research aspect in ITPCAS (Institute of Tibetan Plateau, Chinese Academy of Sciences) in the Climate Change for graduate students majored in Earth Sciences. This class is a synthesis of current knowledge of the climate system and past and present climates. It provides solid background information and includes critical assessments of issues that remain incompletely understood. There, it is up to the students to logically evaluate climate change issues presented daily by the media. This class will introduce related reference for climate researchers and students, especially for issues of climate change in Earth system. The class presents the basics surrounding climate change in a simple way while pointing out the complexity of climate data collection, processing, and interpretation. Our research aspect in ITPCAS will introduce climate change related topics, for example, land surface heat flux retrieve from in-situ data, satellite remote sensing data and numerical model; land surface model development and data assimilation; black carbon in the mountain glacier area; hydrological model and so on. All of these topics will enhance our theoretical questions about climate change, especially in the Tibetan Plateau.

课程教师信息
Prof. Dr.MA Yaoming Yaoming Ma got his PhD in Atmospheric Physics from Okayama University in 2001 and in Environment Science from Wageningen University in 2006. In 2004, he joined the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research (ITP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and worked as a professor in ITP/CAS. He is also Deputy Director of ITP/CAS and Director of the Qomolangma Station for Atmospheric and Environmental Observation and Research (QOMS), CAS. As an atmospheric boundary layer researcher, he has been actively involved in many land surface experiments in China. He has also been actively involved in the GEWEX Asia Monsoon Experiment on the Tibetan Plateau (GAME/Tibet, 1996-2000) for its entire duration. He was coordinating the participation of Chinese team in the GAME/Tibet. He is also one of the overall coordinators of Coordinated Enhanced Observing Period (CEOP) Asian-Australian Monsoon Project (CAMP) on the Tibetan Plateau (CAMP/Tibet, 2001-2010). He is still in charge of the long term atmospheric-land interaction monitoring on the Tibetan Plateau. His 70 papers have been published in the international journals. He is also the Winner of Outstanding Young Scientists for Meteorological Sciences and Technology, 2006, by China Meteorological Administration (CMA) and the Winner of Outstanding Young Scientists,2008, by National Natural Science Foundation of China(NSFC).
