Qiang Wang
Qiang Wang received a Ph.D in Environmental Science from the Chinese Academy of Science in 2009, was an Associate Professor (2010) at the Qingdao Institute Of Bioenergy & Bioprocess Technology, Chinese Academy Of Sciences, and a Professor (2011-16) at Xinjiang Ecology And Geography Institute, Chinese Academy Of Sciences, and then moved to China University of Petroleum (2016-2022). His research focuses on energy-environment-health issues through multidisciplinary research methods
Through clever use of time series statistical models (e.g., joint regression models, variable intercept models, variable coefficient models), high-precision combined forecasting models (e.g. gray forecasting and neural network models combined forecasting models), multilateral input-output models, decomposition models (e.g. index decomposition method, structural decomposition method), Dr. Wang has published more than 180 peer-reviewed papers (corresponding author) in high profile English journals.
These papers have been cited over 8,800 (Google Scholar)/ 7,100(Scopus)/ 6,200 (WoS) times by October 2022. 19 papers are selected as global ESI 0.1% Hot Papers, and 36 papers are selected as global ESI 1% Highly Cited Papers that perform in the top 1%. Dr. Wang’s h index is 53 (Google Scholar)/ 49(Scopus)/ 46 (WoS).

Jianjun Zhang
Professor at the School of Land Science and Technology, China University of Geosciences (Beijing).
I work on land use and sustainability, ecological modeling, land economics and regional planning, low-carbon land use and ecosystem services in human disturbance zones, urban management. The focus of my current research has been expanded to green infrastructures, ecologic economics and heat island effects related with land use.
