Research Goals
Researches of the laboratory concern about the major scientific issues in ensuring the watershed ecological safety and sustainable development. Research areas include the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and watersheds of major rivers and lakes in the humid region of southern China. Based on the theories of modern geography and integrated multidisciplinary methodologies, distribution patterns, evolution processes, and interaction mechanisms and effects of land, water and human activity in the watershed are investigated in this laboratory.
