COMET

COMET, the web-based equipment inventory along with a maintenance and booking system establishes a framework with operational protocols that fully demonstrates the openness, transparency, efficiency and professionalism an advanced laboratory have. It provides necessary infrastructure and    state-of-the-art technological support to boost research excellence.

Since its establishment in 2008, COMET has run very well. 100 percent of the large equipment have been included in the online booking system. 200 instruments, infrastructure and field facilities such as clean rooms, video conference system, uninterrupted power supply, cold storage, seawater aquaculture system, buoys, and the mesocosm facility are part of the system. 3000+ users are registered witinh it. The average usage rate of the online booking facilities is nearly 80%. COMET will continue to strive for excellence as an infrastructure for research and teaching and to inspire innovative research discoveries.

HiSea-1

​HiSea-1 is China's first university-originated small satellite for ocean remote sensing. As a microwave sensor, HiSea-1 can provide high-resolution observations day and night and under all weather conditions. As an ocean remote sensing satellite, HiSea-1 provides observations of multiple ocean dynamics parameters for the study of global climate change and its impacts on coastal communities and stakeholders. The satellite can probe the ocean, land and atmosphere and serve the coastal community by monitoring extreme events such as tropical storms, coastal flooding and land subsidence.

HiSea-2

HiSea-2 focuses on monitoring coastal and watershed environments, as well as shallow seabeds such as coral reefs and seagrasses. It is the first small satellite that achieves a large coverage, high-resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio simultaneously, thus allowing observation of nearshore ecosystems that are out of reach by traditional ocean color satellites.

T-SMART

The National Observation and Research Station for the Taiwan Strait Marine Ecosystem (T-SMART) was been approved as a national station of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’ s Republic of China in 2021. T-SMART consists of two comprehensive stations: the “Dongshan Swire Marine Station (D-SMART)” and the “Zhangjiang Estuary Mangrove Wetland Ecosystem Station (M-ECORS)” as well as four long-term observation areas: Upwelling observation area, Dongshan Bay observation area, Xiamen Bay observation area and Zhangjiang River Estuary observation area. Integrating nearly 30 years of observations and research on upwelling ecosystems and coastal wetland ecosystems such as mangroves in the Taiwan Strait, T-SMART is committed to long-term monitoring and experimental research on marine ecosystem structure and function, which provides science and technological support for the health of the marine ecosystem and sustainable economic development.
