NCKU Prof. Jiin-Shuh Jean Awarded with the Fellow of the Geological Society of America
Tainan, Taiwan, May 26th, 2010
Prof. Jiin-Shuh Jean of Department of Earth Sciences at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Taiwan, was awarded Fellow of the Geological Society of America (GSA) for his excellent achievements in groundwater contaminant transportation and renovation.
Prof. Jiin-Shuh Jean was the only person receiving the honorary title in Taiwan, 2010, and it will be presented to him in the GSA Annual Meeting at Denver, Colorado, USA, from October 31st to November 3rd, 2010.
Prof. Jiin-Shuh Jean humbly expressed, “It was an honor for me to receive this title of Fellow by the Geological Society of America. I will continue to devote myself to geological research and expect to have better performance.”
The Fellow of the Geological Society of America is the highest title for the field of geology in United States. Organized by federal government, the Geological Society of America is the most prestigious society in the field of geology, having approximately 20,000 members. In 2010, it has elected 60 fellows. It’s understood that only one person in Taiwan is elected as GSA Fellow every two year.
Prof. Jiin-Shuh Jean is awarded mainly for his fruitful achievements and contributions on the research of hydrogeology, groundwater simulation, geological microorganisms, environmental microorganisms and environmental geology, papers published in renowned journals, as well as two ROC patents.
Prof. Jiin-Shuh Jean is the President of International Medical Geological Association, Taiwan Branch, and the organizer of The Third International Congress on Arsenic in the Environment. He’s also the Associate Editor for internationally renowned Journal of Hydrology and Hydrogeology Journal and the Co-Editor for Water Research in 2010.
Prof. Jean was the first to raise the concept of biomedical hydrogeology dealing with environmental epidemics (such as Enterovirus and Blackfoot Disease) in Hydrogeology Journal in 1999. He also brought up the association between rainfall rate and occurrence of enterovirus epidemic due to a contaminated well in Journal of Applied Microbiology in 2006.
His three year project, the geological microorganisms, chemical characteristics and health effects of arsenic-rich alluvial aquifers, from National Science Council, Taiwan, is expected to end in July, 2010, hoping to find the proper solutions for groundwater arsenic in Taiwan, Bangladesh and India.
