Research Interests
My research interests lie in the field of climate change impact and climate mitigation. Focusing on issues in the Climate-Land-Ecosystem-Society nexus, I take an interdisciplinary approach to assessing the impact of climate change and climate intervention (including solar geoengineering) on agriculture, ecosystem, and human livability, as well as the feedback of land cover change to climate, to provide decision support for addressing climate change and building a carbon neutral society.
