X. San LIANG (Fudan University, China)

Quantitative Causality Analysis, Causality-Aided Discovery, and Causal AI-Based Ocean/Atmosphere Prediction

X. San Liang received his Ph.D. from Harvard University, USA. He has worked at the Second Institute of Oceanography of China's State Oceanic Administration, Harvard University, New York University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, China Institute for Advanced Study/Central University of Finance and Economics, Nanjing Institute of Meteorology etc., and was a team leader of the Ninth Chinese National Antarctic Research Expedition. Presently he is Chair Professor in Atmosphere-Ocean Science at Fudan University, Shanghai, and Head of the Artificial Intelligence Group, Southern Marine Laboratory, Zhuhai, China. His scientific contributions are along two major lines: The first is a rigorous formalism of quantitative causality analysis and information flow from first principles; along another line are a series of theories and methodologies, such as multiscale window transform and canonical transfer, for investigating the multiscale dynamics underlying real ocean and atmosphere processes, which are in nature highly nonlinear and tend to be intermittent in space and time.

Bo QIU (University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA)

Oceanic Bi-directional Kinetic Energy Cascades: Theories, Modeling & Observations

Bo Qiu is a Professor at the Department of Oceanography, University of Hawaii at Manoa and he received his PhD in Physical Oceanography from Kyoto University (1990). His scientific interests include large-scale ocean circulation variability, mid-latitude air-sea interaction, geophysical fluid dynamics, and satellite oceanography. Prof. Qiu has published more than 160 papers in peer-reviewed journals and was contributing authors to both IPCC 4th and 5th Assessment Reports. In addition to the 2021 AMS Henry Stommel Research Medal, Prof. Qiu is recipients of the Okada Prize from the Oceanographic Society of Japan (1993), the New Investigators Award from NASA (1996), the University of Hawaii Board of Regents' Medal for Excellence in Research (2018), the Japan Oceanographic Society Prize (2019), and Fellow of American Meteorological Society (2021).
