Prof. Jiang received his PhD in physical geography in 2005, and then worked at West Kentucky University in US as post doctor from 2009 to 2011 and at Swiss Federal Institute for Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag) as visiting scholar from July 2011 to July 2012.
He served as the director for Chongqing Key Laboratory of Karst Environment and Chongqing academic technology (in geography), and also principal investigator (PI) for one of National Key R&D Program of China and previous stage National Program on Key Basic Research Project (973 Program), three of National Natural Science Foundation of China and co-PI of IGCP 661 and 598. He had acquired one Third Class Prizes of Science and Technology Award of Chongqing Municipality, China (ranking the first) and one Second Class Prizes of Guangxi Autonomous Region, China (ranking the third).
His academic research is focused on ecology & hydrogeology, hydrology, biogeochemistry, dendrochronology, Global change and GIS in karst environment. He has published more than 100 academic articles as the first or corresponding author in the field’s leading journals, such as Environmental Science & Technology, Journal of Hydrology, Journal of geographical Science, etc. He is the associate editor of the Journal of Hydrology, and academic committee member of Karst Academic Committee under International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH), International Research Center of Karst under UNISCO and Geological Society of China, and academic committee member of Karst Dynamics Laboratory (KDL) affiliated with the Ministry of Land and Resource.
Main Achievements:
(1) Exposed the karst water resources evolutionary process and mechanism using hydrological & stable isotopes geochemical methods
(2) Exposed the internet relation between karst carbon/nitrogen cycling and global change using biological & hydrological geochemical methods
(3) Exposed the formation process and mechanism of karst ecosystems degradation and soil rocky desertification, as well as the ecohydrological effects in the karst ecosystem restoration process, using ecological & geochemical & hydrological & GIS, RS methods
(4) Exposed the synergistic evolutionary process and mechanism between groundwater and ecology in karst areas using dendrochronological and stable isotopes geochemical methods
