Editors

  • Guoyu Ren

    Guoyu Ren investigates Climate change, Urbanization, Atmospheric temperature, Urban heat island and Precipitation. Climate change connects with themes related to Mainland China in his study. The various areas that Guoyu Ren examines in his Urbanization study include Extinction risk from global warming and Mean radiant temperature. His research in Atmospheric temperature focuses on subjects like Trend surface analysis, which are connected to NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis, Global warming and Global change.

  • Danny Harvey

    Danny Harvey is Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Toronto. He studied Geography at the University of British Columbia (B.Sc.) and University of Toronto (M.Sc. & Ph.D.), obtaining his Ph.D. in 1986. Dr. Harvey pursues research in the areas of computer climate modelling as well as options to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases associated with energy use.

  • Johnny Chan

    Johnny Chan is internationally renowned in the research areas of typhoons and monsoons. In the last few decades, he has been working on the problem of global warming and its relationship with tropical cyclone and monsoon climate, as well as the impact of urbanisation on local and regional climate. He has published close to 270 international journal articles and given over 300 invited talks and conference papers. According to the Essential Science Indicators, he ranks the top in the world in the number of SCI-listed journal articles related to tropical cyclones, and is the ninth most-cited author in this field during the 1996-2006 period.

  • Zhongshi Zhang

    Zhongshi Zhang is a paleoclimatologist and modeler. His research focuses on ocean climates in the Nordic Seas and South Pole. His research centers on ocean climates in the Nordic Seas, experimental oceanography, sea ice and deep-water formation processes in Antarctica.

  • Jinbao Li

    Jinbao Li’s research centers on long-term variations in El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the most powerful climate force on Earth, and the Asian monsoon, the most crucial climate system to the Asian community. He carries out diagnostic studies using both instrumental and proxy (tree-rings in particular) records to gain insights into long-term dynamics of the ENSO and the Asian monsoon systems and their impacts on society.
