Ji Hee Kim is an Antarctic researcher, best known for being the Principal Investigator for comprehensive environmental monitoring and construction of the long term environmental database at South Korea's King Sejong Station.

Early life and education

Kim received her BSc in biology at Mokpo National University in 1991 and her MSc in biology at Seoul National University in 1993, and a PhD at the same university in 2000.[1] She started her research work at the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) in 1998 before she completed her PhD. She has been a key member of the polar ecology laboratory at KOPRI.[2]

Career and impact

Kim has led many projects at KOPRI, particularly after the construction of Jang Bogo Station, South Korea's second Antarctic research station. Kim was a key member of the expedition team searching for the proper site and later Principal Investigator for the preparation for the Comprehensive Environmental Evaluation.[3] She is the Principal Investigator for comprehensive environmental monitoring and construction of a long term environmental database in the King Sejong Station.[1][4]
