Dear Prof. Brocca:

In recent years, I have already done several programs about combinational

influence on hydrology by the global change (mainly precipitation, temperature, and further for evapotranspiration), land use/cover change and river system change in the Delta of Yangtze River. Through the research works, I have mastered a series of analysis methods on meteorological observation data and models to simulate the flood process. Furthermore, I also use my own advantages of geography background, solving the hydrological problems with the method of subject crossing. In the past 2 years, I have published 6 theses in important journals at home and abroad. Of course, I can also collaborate with others well, and this is not a problem for me at all.

Through the articles you have published, Iacknowledge the similarity between our research and the advance of your achievement. So I yearn for the opportunity to study and cooperate with you. I believe that this chance will be a nice experience for me, and I will have a fruitful harvest.

As is well-known that Nanjing University has a very good reputation in the world. In the past years, we have showed great time and devotion to the study of hydrology, and have made lots of achievements. My supervisor, Prof. Xu, hasgiven full play to regional advantages, and analyzed the hydrological problems in Taihu Catchment exhaustively. So I think national cooperation is necessary.

In view of these, I hope this academic exchange will enhance my capacity for scientific research and promote the comprehensive to a certain extent between you and China.

I would appreciate it if you could consider my application. I look forward to your reply. Along with the accessory, my curriculum vitae was been send. Please check it!
