Resume

WANG Anzhi, Male, born in March 1973, native of Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia. Ph.D., Researcher, Doctoral Supervisor. His research focuses on eco-hydrology and eco-climatology, centering on the water cycle and hydrological processes of forest ecosystems. His work concentrates on temperate forests in Northeast China and the Songliao River Basin, investigating multi-scale water–carbon coupling processes and their response mechanisms to climate change, including forest evapotranspiration, canopy interception, snow–freeze-thaw processes, watershed hydrology, stable water isotopes (δ²H/δ¹⁸O), hydrological modeling, and plant physiological ecology. He has supervised 5 M.S. and 8 Ph.D. students, published over 200 academic papers with more than 4,100 total citations and an H-index of 36, authored 7 monographs, and holds 19 authorized patents. He has led one sub-project of the National Key Research and Development Program, three projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, one CAS scientific equipment development project, and one CAS STS project, as well as five industry-commissioned projects. His research achievements have been recognized with a Second Prize of the Liaoning Provincial Natural Science Award and both First and Second Prizes of the Liaoning Provincial Water Conservancy Science and Technology Progress Award. He serves as an editorial board member of the Chinese Journal of Applied Ecology and the Chinese Journal of Ecology. He actively seeks international partners for joint research on forest–water interactions, cold-region hydrology, stable isotope tracing, and climate-change impacts on water resources. He welcomes inquiries from prospective international graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and visiting scholars.
