Research title: Hydrological responses to wetland changes in the Yangtze River Basin

Research Summary

  • Create the wetland dataset with comprehensive classification along the Yangtze River Basin (YRB), to investigate and analyze the past long-term hydrological responses of different types of wetlands to natural and socio-economic driving factors.

  • Reasearch on the driving factors of wetland changes in the YRB, typically focus on the relationship between northward shift of rain belt and wetland changes in the YRB.

  • Make future predictions of YRB wetland changes under climate change scenarios by using hydrological and climate models. To help with the final purpose of wetland change adaptation and mitigation.
