主讲人简介：
王教授是一位国际著名的海洋学科学家，有着在美国、澳大利亚，意大利和中国等国二十余年的高等学府的教学和科研经历。
王教授毕业于中国青岛的中国海洋大学，拥有澳大利亚詹姆斯库克大学的海洋学博士学位，现为新南威尔士大学环境学院终身教授，任Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science副主编， 他是澳大利新南威尔士大学的中澳海岸管理研究中心创始人主任，目前也是中国海洋大学绿卡教授，中国杭州国家海洋局第二海洋研究所海星教授，新南威尔士大学中国海大留学生负责人。
王教授执教本科生经验丰富，同时也指导博士和博士后的研究。他在国际顶级海洋学专业杂志上公开发表论文70余篇。由于他科研成果卓著，先后任美国的麻省理工学院WHOI和普林斯顿大学及意大利的Bolonga大学的客座教授。
王教授获得总额100万澳元个人研究经费。多次在大型国际会议上做特邀报告，任分会召集人。他发现了由底边界层引起的对深层海洋环流的压强补偿效应，成功地揭开了大洋深海环流偏弱的世纪难题。他是将物理海洋学应用到海洋泥沙沉积学的先驱者。他发现了淤泥层对近海底边界层的动力负反馈效应，这些发现在海洋生态学和海底地层形成方面的研究有很广泛和重要的应用价值。他发展的泥沙动力数值模型已被普林斯顿海洋模型POM认可采纳，并领导主持A-POM泥沙动力模块的开发。
王教授还是堪培拉多元文化圈中的杰出领导者。他曾任堪培拉华人社团联合会会长、澳大利亚堪培拉多元文化理事会会长、堪培拉多元文化事务市长咨询理事会主席、堪培拉教育输出理事会的成员、堪培拉社区项目授权理事会成员。目前，他是堪培拉市长指定的堪培拉荣誉大使。
讲座摘要：
While Australia and China have vastly different populations with 1.3 billion in China and only 22.3 million in Australia, both have the majority of people living near the coast, and there is a continuing migration of people towards the coast. In Australia more than 83% of people live within 50 km of the coast, while in China, the estimate is that 60% of people live in the 12 coastal provinces. A recent comprehensive assessment shows that Australian marine industry contributes 25 billion Australian dollars annually to the national economy. Over the next ten years, China will develop the Blue (Marine) Economic Zones (BEZ) with the government and industry funding exceeding CNY1.4 trillion (A$200 billion).This leads to increasing pressures being put on the coastal zone and the requirement for research to better understand these complex zones and improve their management.
Unprecedented economic growth and increasing investment in science and research has contributed to China becoming one of the world’s leading science producers. Following Australian Government and community calls to increase cooperation in science and technology with China, University of New South Wales has signed Memorandum of Intent (MOI) for academic exchange and research collaboration with four top Chinese universities (so called ‘985 universities’) in 2008/9. Through these agreements, University of New South Wales Canberra at the Australian Defence Force Academy (UNSW Canberra) and these four Chinese Universities agree to seek ways of developing collaborations and programs for the purpose of facilitating academic, scientific and technological exchange and cooperation. Furthermore, each of these Chinese Universities agrees to send up to a total of fifteen China Scholarship Council (CSC) scholarship students per annum to UNSW Canberra @ADFA. CSC supports high quality students (top 10% in China) for a four-year PhD program. To date, more than 35 CSC HDRs have enrolled at UNSW Canberra, some of them completed.
Against above background, a Sino-Australian Research Centre for Coastal Management (SARCCM) was established in November 2010. SARCCM is a Research Centre of the University of New South Wales with a multidisciplinary/multi-faculty focus. It works closely with the Ocean University of China (OUC is one of UNSW MOI universities, and a key partner for the BEZ construction in China) in collaborative research on coastal science and management. The UNSW Canberra campus and several faculties of UNSW in Sydney contribute to the Research Centre. The SARCCM has strong team of 19 researchers from UNSW and its collaborative organizations, as well as 2 external funded posdoc fellows, 9 HDR students and one visiting fellow from OUC.
Since the launch, SARCCM has attracted strong interest from national and international scientific community as well as industries. An article was published in the American Geophysical Union Newsletter EOS describing SARCCM research collaboration with China. SARCCM scientists and students have also been active to carry out research activities in five programs including coastal oceanography, coastal engineering, remote sensing, marine policy and law, and climate change and socio-economics. Two special issues with a total of fifteen papers in highly ranked international journals have been published; and an external research grant has been obtained. Through SARCCM seminars, workshops and international visits, SARCCM has established a strong collaborative research network of scientists, government and industry people in China and Australia, with several research projects being developed for funding by national and international funding sources.
If you are interested in working with us at SARCCM, in collaborative research or as a postgraduate, please contact us to discuss how we might progress our common interests. We look forward to working with you. In particular, we welcome graduating undergraduate students to enroll in our newly developed Master of Philosophy (MPhil) program in Coastal Management. This is a full fee paying 1.5-2 year UNSW Master degree, aiming to provide a pathway for outstanding students to pursuit PhD studies at UNSW Canberra.
