The Fifth International Delta Forum with the theme of "Ecology, Agriculture, and Technology" was held in Dongying City recently. The forum aims to thoroughly implement the major national strategy of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin.
The forum was led by the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Geographical Society, and the United Nations Environment Programme International Ecosystem Management Partnership (UNEP-IEMP), and co-organized by the Yantai Coastal Geological Survey Center of the China Geological Survey. More than 200 experts and scholars from home and abroad were invited to exchange wonderful academic achievements on the topics of "Evolution of the Geological Environment of Delta Wetlands".
At the forum, scholars from home and abroad, including Shao Ming'an, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhang Linxiu, director of the International Ecosystem Management Partnership Program of the United Nations Environment Program and academician of the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World, Xia Jun, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and foreign academician of the Norwegian Academy of Sciences, Fu Tingdong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and academician of the Third World Academy of Sciences, Cheng Qi, foreign academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Esteban Gabriel Jobbagy Gampel, academician of the Argentine National Academy of Sciences, and Jeffrey John MacDonald, academician of the Royal Society of Canada, made special reports. In addition, the "Field Scientific Observation and Research Station of Land-Sea Interaction at the Yellow River Estuary of the Ministry of Natural Resources" was officially unveiled at the forum. The station was led by the Yantai Center and jointly built by Qingdao Institute of Marine Geology, Yantai Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Shandong Dongying Institute of Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) and Jiangsu Marine Geological Survey Institute. The station focuses on information monitoring of natural resource elements in the earth's key zones, with an emphasis on three major directions: coastal erosion and siltation and sediment deposition processes, surface runoff-groundwater-seawater coupling and water cycle processes, soil salinization and ecosystem evolution processes, providing scientific and technological support for natural resource management and high-quality development of the Yellow River Delta.
