Researching interest
I am mainly interested in the phytolith records response to the climate change in the past, and Holocene wetland sediments response to the climate changes in the mid-lower Yangtze River.
Research projects
1. Research into the origin and evolution of the Paleo-Yunmeng lakes and marshes. National Natural Science Foundation of China (Beijing).
2. Research into the lake ecological response to the human activity in the recent century in Wuhan region. National Natural Science Foundation of China (Beijing).
3. Research into the biological stratigraphy and molecular stratigraphy of red earth during the Middle Pleistocene in the mid-lower Yangtze River.National Natural Science Foundation of China (Beijing).
