We are pleased to announce that Prof. Jianli CHEN, a valued member of SKL-CRCC, has been named one of the winners of the inaugural “PolyU Top 10 Research & Innovation Stories of the Year”.
This university-wide selection and voting campaign was launched to recognise outstanding achievements with far-reaching impact both locally and globally. Through a combination of professional judging and public voting (with more than 7,700 votes), ten awardees were chosen from 20 finalists announced in 2025 across five strategic areas.
Prof. CHEN leads a pioneering global research effort that uses satellite positioning data to track Greenland ice sheet melt behaviour and evaluate its impact on sea-level rise. By integrating modern space geodetic techniques, his team monitors vertical bedrock subsidence and quantifies summer water storage, providing valuable insights into how ice sheets respond to global environmental change.
Please join us in offering our warmest congratulations to Prof. CHEN for this well-deserved recognition. We look forward to his continued contributions and the positive impact his research will bring to society and international science.
