5月29日，经国际海洋研究委员会（Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research, SCOR）和未来地球（Future Earth）批准，华东师范大学河口海岸学国家重点实验室刘东艳研究员被正式委任国际大型海洋联合研究计划-海洋生物圈整合研究（Integrated Marine Biosphere Research, IMBeR）科学指导委员会主席。

IMBeR是海洋生物地球化学与生态系统研究领域最具综合性和引领性的国际合作平台，最早发起于2005年，目前正处于其第2个十年计划的实施阶段，旨在探讨在全球变化下如何实现海洋与人类社会的可持续发展，倡导以科学为依据，在全球范围和多时间尺度上，认识、评估、预测并预报全球变化对个体及生态系统的综合效应，并为政策制定者和管理者提供优化的选择方案。

刘东艳研究员长期致力于海洋藻类群落演变研究，为全球应对大规模藻华问题作出了杰出贡献。2023年，国际湖沼与海洋科学学会授予她象征该领域杰出学术荣誉的Ruth Patrick奖。过去十年，她一直积极参与推动全球海洋科学研究计划，包括LOICZ（现在的未来地球海岸）、Mega Delta、ONCE，并担任IMBeR富营养化研究小组的联合主席，领导IMBeR科学计划和实施战略（2016-2025）的重大挑战。担任主席期间，她将继续推进IMBeR科学计划的执行，寻求全球变化背景下海洋自然系统与人类社会系统交互协同发展的科学方案，同时提升我国在全球海洋治理中的深度参与能力。

IMBeR Welcomes the New Scientific Steering Committee Chair

We are delighted to welcome Prof. Dongyan Liu from the State Key Laboratory of Estuarine and Coastal Research (SKLEC), East China Normal University, as the new Chair of the IMBeR Scientific Steering Committee (SSC), effective immediately, following approval by the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research and Future Earth.

Dongyan is a distinguished scientist with an impressive background in marine ecology. Her research focuses on exploring the biophysical and physiological mechanisms by which algae adapt to changing environments (such as eutrophication and warming) and mitigating algal blooms. She has published more than 200 peer-reviewed research articles. Her research on massive macroalgal blooms in the Yellow Sea provided important information for scientists and environmental management. In recognition of her outstanding research achievements in marine sciences, she was honored with the 2023 Ruth Patrick Award by the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography.

Beyond her role as the Deputy Director of Scientific Research for SKLEC, Dongyan serves on the editorial board of Limnology and Oceanography-Letters as well as other academic journals. She has been actively engaged in global research programmes, including LOICZ (now Future Earth Coasts), Mega-Delta, ONCE,  co-chairing the IMBeR Eutrophication Study Group,  and co-leading the Grand Challenge I of the IMBeR Science Plan and Implementation Strategy (2016-2025).

We are confident that Dongyan's expertise and extensive experience will strengthen the leadership of the SSC, building on the remarkable contributions from past Chairs and the SSC to conclude the current phase of the IMBeR project.
