Dr and Prof Qinke, Yang, born in March of 1962. His main research and teaching areas are regional soil erosion assessment, terrain factors for soil erosion modeling, and principles of Geographic Information Sciences. Yang have been worked in the Institute of Soil and Water Conservation, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Ministry of Water Resources (CAS ISWC), and have been visiting CSIRO Land and Water, USDA National Soil Erosion Research Laboratory, and still have collaboration with CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric. The research projects have been finished are Impacts of soil conservation on environmental processes and factors (Project of Chinese Academy of Sciences), Study on the regional soil erosion model (Project of Ministry of Water Resources, China). The ongoing projects include, study on scaling of coarser resolution slope (NSFC project), study on distributed ersional slope length (NSFC project) and Calculating and analysis of CSLE-LS factors for China (Project of Ministry of Water Resources, China).
