In particular, he has made significant efforts and achievements in advancing coastal and shelf applications of satellite altimetry and in applying unstructured grid ocean models for oceanographic and ecosystem-science issues in the past two decades. He has published over 50 refereed papers in  scientific journals and written chapters in books, encyclopaedia and science bulletins, covering fields of oceanography, climate, ecosystem science, hydrodynamics, and hydraulic engineering.

Dr. Han currently serves as the Co-Editor for Atmosphere-Ocean. He is the Vice Chair for Scientific Commission A (Space Studies on the Earth's Surface, Meteorology and Climate) of Committee on Space Research. He is an Adjunct Professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada and at a few other university and institutions. Dr. Han co-chaired the Science Program Committee for the CMOS (Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society)-CGU (Canadian Geophysical Union)-AMS (American Meteorological Society) 2007 Congress. He served on advisory/organizing committees of international symposiums and conferences.

Dr. Han, together with a team of his colleagues, was awarded the Prize in Applied Oceanography for the year 1998 by the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society.
