Dr. Ming Feng is a physical oceanographer specialising in the
Leeuwin Current dynamics, the climate impact on marine environment, and the
interaction of physical and biological processes in the oceans. He led the Western Australia Marine Science Institution
(WAMSI) Node 2 research on “climate processes, predictability and impacts in a
warming Indian Ocean” in 2008-2011. He now leads an Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project
to monitor the long term changes in the Leeuwin Current and is actively engaged
in research on climate impact study in Western Australia.
His recent research covers:
§ Interannual
variations and decadal trends of the Leeuwin Current
§ Biophysical
coupling in the Leeuwin Current and its eddy field
§ Individual-based
model on western rock lobster recruitment
§ Ningaloo Niño
– The 2011 Western Australia marine heat wave
Background
Dr. Ming Feng Joined the CSIRO multi-disciplinary research team in
Western Australia in 2001, after receiving education and career trainings in
Beijing, Qingdao, Honolulu, and Hobart. His research career has focused on
climate variability in the Pacific and Indian Ocean, ocean boundary current and
eddy dynamics, upper ocean processes, and biophysical coupling, using in situ
observations, remote sensing information, and numerical models. He also
participated in a number of research voyages in tropical Pacific, southeast
Indian Ocean, and western Pacific marginal seas. He has served on World Climate
Research Programme (WCRP) Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR)
Indian Ocean Panel.
