  Retinoid X receptor (RXR) is one of the most important targets of pollutants and drugs.

  

• The toxicological dynamic process and effects of polystyrene microplastic on Asia clam (Corbicula fulminea)

  Marine Pollution / Ecotoxicology

  The tiny plastic pellets or fibers, which are called as microplastics, have become one of the most important issues of marine plastic pollution in recent years.

  

• Marine Microplastics Monitoring and Ecological Risk Assessment Technology Research

  Marine Pollution / Ecotoxicology

  By studying microplastic monitoring and risk assessment technology, our objective is to understand the source, fate and spatiotemporal variations of microplastics, to reveal the effects of microplastics on the safety and health of the marine ecosystems, to set up national standard for monitoring

  

• Simulation mussel beds with GPU

  Ecology

  Theoretical models highlight that spatial self-organized patterns can have important emergent effects on the functioning of ecosystems, for instance by increasing productivity and affecting the vulnerability to catastrophic shifts.

  

• Ecosystem functioning of Mussel beds

  Ecology

  Theory predicts that self-organized pattern formation has important implications by affecting vulnerability to disturbances and increasing production. Whether these emergent effects depend on the presumed underlying mechanisms is an often ignored question.

  

• Phase separation principle in mussel patterning

  Ecology

  Using mussels as expriment, we demonstrate that the physical principle of phase separation (which is well-known and widely used in physics, but absent in the ecological literature) is able to explain spatial pattern formation in ecological systems (Liu et al, 2013 PNAS).

  

• Multiple-scale patterns in ecosystems

  Ecology

  Many ecosystems display complex spatial patterning at multiple spatial scales, particularly on  mussel beds, seagrass, and coral reefs ecosystems.

  

• Spatial self-organization in macro-ecosystems

  Ecology

  1) Mussel beds development at large and small scales 2) Seagrass patterns 3) Vegatation patterns  

  

• Hyperspectral and multi-mission high resolution optical remote sensing of aquatic environments

  Remote Sensing / Estuarine and Coastal Ecology ...

  The safety of aquatic environment has become a common global concern, and it is undoubtedly that remote sensing by satellite is the best way to monitor and evaluate the health of ecosystem in a long term.
