发布日期:2022-04-11 阅读:1021

Directly affiliated to the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), the Second Institute of Oceanography (SIO) was established in 1966 and has developed into a non-profit oceanographic research institute with comprehensive disciplines, strong scientific and technological capabilities and advanced equipment support. It is mainly engaged in marine scientific researches on China seas, oceans and polar regions as well as the R&D and application of high technology for marine environmental protection and resources exploration.

State Key Laboratory of Satellite Ocean Environment Dynamics (SOED) was funded in July 2006 and was approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology in December 2009. At present, SOED is the only state key laboratory within the MNR system. Setting the head quarter in Hangzhou, SOED conducts physical construction with SIO, MNR as the supporting organization and established several public facilities in Lin’an and Zhoushan Base. Currently, 74 fixed-term researchers and staffs work at SOED, including three academicians, three members of national “Ten Thousand Talents Plan,” one member funded by “Distinguished Young Scientists Fund of NSFC” and three members funded by Excellent Young Scientists Fund of the NSFC, and more than 30 members selected into provincial and ministerial talents programs. SOED also cultivates two innovation groups of Ministry of Science and Technology in key research fields and one innovation group of NSFC, having built a well-structured scientific team, with highly qualified senior scholars as academic leaders and talented young scientists as the backbone.

SOED continues to take the two major national needs of protecting marine safety and environment while focusing on disaster prevention and mitigation and protecting marine ecosystems and focusing on marine conservation as the driven force, and aims to break through the technical core and theoretical system of three-dimensional observation and prediction of the marine environment and ecosystem, leading basic operational research and cutting-edge technology development on marine satellite remote sensing technology and application, ocean dynamic processes and marine eco-environment and ocean circulation and climate change.
