地理学家、综合自然地理学家。广东惠阳人。1934年毕业于中山大学地理系。中国科学院地理研究所研究员、所长、名誉所长。长期致力于中国资源环境的研究，强调自然地理学的综合研究。1956年就提出自然地理应探讨地表的物理、化学和生物过程，并加以综合研究。主编的“中国综合自然区划”是首次着眼农林牧水发展的综合区划，是第一部中国最详尽而系统的全国自然区划专著。60年代在中国率先开展地表热量、水分平衡研究，推动化学地理研究。70年代倡导农业自然生产潜力的研究，主持建立了北京农业生态系统试验站，并推动了河流地貌、水分平衡试验等实验室（场）的建立。80年代以来致力于坡地利用与改良及全球环境变化的研究。

1955年被选聘为中国科学院院士（学部委员）。

Physical geographer. Born in Guangzhou. Graduated from the Department of Geography, Zhongshan University in 1934. Research professor and honorary director, Institute of Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Huang has devoted over 60 years to the studies on China’s natural resources and environment with special reference to the development of primary and secondary industries and he highly values physical geography as a discipline linking a wide array of components and factors. Several versions of his work on the physico-geographic regionalization of China endeavor to relate all biophysical factors to agriculture, forestry and water resources and bring forth a regional pattern in agreement with the so-called periodic law of natural zonality. To help physical geographers to plow equally deep and wide,his suggestion to develop investigations on the physical, chemical and biological processes of the earth has resulted since the early 1960s in the establishment and growth of research of heat and water balance,quality of human environment and potential crop productivity in China. As all these are interrelated themes, anything new in one field often provokes thoughts in others. The same is true of the two latest additional themes, sustainable development of sloping lands and global environment change.

He became Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1955.

古植物学家。浙江诸暨人。1926年毕业于北京大学地质系。1931年获德国柏林大学哲学博士学位。中国科学院古生物研究所（南京地质古生物研究所前身）研究员、所长。长期从事古植物研究，对古植物的分类和演化、地层划分对比以及植物地理分布等都有深入系统研究，是我国古植物研究的先行者。主要论著有《中国中生代植物》、《陕北延长层植物群》、《鄂西香溪煤系植物化石》等140余篇。其中《中国古生代植物图鉴》及《中国标准化石—古生代及及新生代部分》两书，对我国地质勘探工作有重要指导意义。

1955年被选聘为中国科学院院士（学部委员）。

Paleobotanist. Born in Zhejiang Province. Graduated from the Department of Geology, Beijing University in 1926. Received Ph.D. from Berlin University, German in 1931. Research professor and director, Institute of Paleontology ( the predecessor of Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology), Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Si had long been engaged in research on paleobotany. He made thorough and systematic investigations on the classification and evolution of paleobotany, division and comparison of stratigraphical and paleophytogeographic distribution, and he was a pioneer of paleobotany in China. He published more than 140 publications including major works such as “ Mesozoic Plants from China ” and “ Piant Fossils of Coal Series in Xiangxi, Western Hubei Province, China ”. Some of his monographs, such as “ Paleozoic Plant of China ”, “ Older Mesozoic Plants from the Yenchang Formation, Northern Shensi ” and “ Index fossils of China, Plants ”, gave important guidance to the geologic prospecting of China.

He became Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1955.
