Research Field: Speleothem, Late Quaternary Geology, Modern Climate Analysis
I'm interested in the global paleoclimate change. Based on the modern observation, reanalysis datasets and model simulations, I investigate the control factors on the variation of oxygen isotope of precipitation over tropical and subtropical areas. Based on the speleothems and model simulations, I investigate the paleoclimate and ecosystem changes in the late Quaternay.
Recently, I mainly focus on：
- Paleoclimate change over South African monsoon domain
- Paleoclimate change over Mesoamerican monsoon domain
