Ocean Experts - Individuals

The PEMSEA Task Force's objective is to serve as a technical support mechanism for the implementation of programs and projects within the framework of the Sustainable Development Strategy for the Seas of East Asia (SDS-SEA). The establishment of the Task Force ensures the region's access to expert services and advice as well as support and assistance in ICM program development and implementation. The PEMSEA Task Force approach also provides an opportunity to train the next generation of experts and practitioners in the region by engaging young professionals/individuals within participating countries in on-the-ground experiences. The PEMSEA Task Force is therefore expected to provide strong support to PEMSEA Partners in promoting the replication and scaling up of ICM efforts across the region.

Professor Dr Fangli Qiao has served and is serving on several national and international advisory committees. Currently he is the vice-chair of IOC/WESTPAC, the Governing Council member of the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES), the founding director of the UNESCO/IOC Regional Training and Research Center (RTRC) on ocean dynamics and climate, which is the first RTRC in UNESCO/IOC. He works at the First Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources of China. He is the editorial board members of peer review journals including Ocean Modelling and Journal of Marine Systems.

He developed the non-breaking surface wave-induced vertical mixing theory which much alleviated the traditional ocean model biases lasting for half century, and then developed the national and international wave-tide-circulation coupled operational ocean forecasting system. He recently developed the first Typhoon forecasting model with sea spray from breaking surface waves which much improved the forecasting ability of Typhoon intensity, solving a classical problem for several decades.
