Dr. Huo Zailin, Associate professor
Dr. Huo Zailin was born in Inner Mongolia of China on 1977. He received the B.S. and M.S. degree from Inner Mongolia Agricultural University (IMAU) in 2000 and 2004 respectively, and Ph.D. degree from China Agricultural University (CAU) in 2007. He joined College of Water resources and Civil Engineering of CAU as a assistant professor on June 2007, and became an associate professor in 2010. He was as a visiting scholar in Cornell University from 2013 to 2014.
Research Focus:
His researches mainly focus on hydrology process and water resources management at multi-scales (field plot - irrigation district - basin) in arid and semi-arid area. To understand hydrology processes and agricultural water use under change environments including climate change and agricultural water saving activities, recently, he has been investigating relationship of crop water use- soil water (salt)-groundwater, agricultural hydrology model at field and irrigation scales, response of regional evapotranspiration and groundwater to climate change and water saving irrigation. He has lots field experiment and numerical simulation experiences in arid-inland area (the Shiyang river), irrigation district (the Hetao) and Northern China Plain of China. He had published over 80 papers and 4 book chapters.
