Dr. Ersi Kang is a scientist at the Division of Hydrology and Water-Land Resources, Cold and Arid Regions Environmental and Engineering Research institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lanzhou , China. He is also a professor of the Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China.

Educated both in China and Switzerland, conferred Ph.D. Degree by Federal Institute of Technology, Switzerland, Dr. Kang has research experience in hydrology, climatology and water resources. Dr. Kang's research has been focused on the comprehensive observational and experimental researches on climatology, hydrology and glaciology in the mountainous watersheds, and in the researches on hydrology, eco-hydrology and water resources in cold and arid regions.

In recent years, as a chief researcher and investigator, Dr. Kang has accomplished the research project “Change and trend prediction of ice and snow water resources and mountain runoff in the arid regions of northwest China” and “Change of mountain water resources and the transformation of water resources in front of the mountains in the inland river basin of Heihe River at the Hexi Corridor area”. Both projects belong to the state key project “Rational utilization and exploitation of water resources and protection of ecosystem and environment in northwest China” of the Ministry of Science and Technology, China. He has also accomplished the research project of National Natural Science Foundation of China, “Basic studies of formation and changes of water resources in an inland river basin”.

Currently, Dr. Kang is in charge of the research projects from Chinese Academy of Sciences, including the researches on the bearing capacity of water resources in northwest China, the researches on the hydrological and eco-hydrological modeling of cold and arid regions, the observational and experimental researches on the soil – vegetation – atmosphere energy, water and mass transfer and land hydrological processes modeling, and the rational exploitation and utilization of water and land resources in the arid regions of northwest China.
