The 2nd International Academic Forum for WoS Highly Cited Researchers (HCR2024) wil be held during March 8-10, 2024 in Jiaozuo, China. We successfully invited Prof. Michael S. Bank from Institute of Marine Research, Norway to attend this conference! This conference is sponsored by Huanghe Jiaotong University, organized by Huanghe Jiaotong University and International Association of Management Science & Engineering Technology (IAMSET), co-organized by Henan Province Engineering Research Center for Biomass Value-added Products, Henan Province International Collaboration Lab of Forest Resources Utilization, Henan Province Forest Resources Sustainable Development and High-value Utilization Engineering Research Center, and Shanxi Normal University, China.
Dr. Michael S. Bank works as a Senior Scientist at Institute of Marine Research in Bergen, Norway, and an associate professor at the Department of Environmental Conservation, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA. He does research in Environmental Toxicology, Ocean Health, Isotopic Niches, Marine Biology, Water Resources and Bayesian Mathematical Modeling. Specifically, his interests mainly focus on three principle themes: (a) How do contaminants affect organisms, including humans, (b) How can contaminants in ecosystem compartments be modeled using isotopic niches, Bayesian statistics and information theory, and (c) How can this information be used in a scientific translation and environmental governance context. He has more than 100 publications with over 5000 citations in the international journals in his fields. Dr. Michael S. Bank currently severs as an associate editor for Chemosphere and Environment Pollution, and is an Editorial Board Member of Environment Advances.
