研究兴趣：

第四纪气候变化，东亚季风，洞穴石笋

研究方向：

1. 利用石笋记录的东亚季风演化与南北两极气候过程之间的联系：揭示未来全球变暖背景下，南极冰盖/北极海冰变化对东亚地区气候的影响过程和机制，主要手段包括数据收集，地质记录重建，和古气候模拟。

2. 基于石笋微量元素多指标记录和古气候模拟探索长江中游古水文变化特征：基于中国中部古水文的复杂性，开展不同时间尺度上，包括百年、十年、年际，甚至季节尺度的变化，以及更长的千年、轨道，冰期-间冰期时间尺度古水文过程重建和机理研究。

3. 石笋新指标研究：开展洞穴现代过程监测，同时利用过去两百年沉积的石笋样品，开展月/季节分辨率的碳氧同位素，微量元素，非传统稳定同位素研究，分析各种代用指标组成变化，查明石笋中各种代用指标对环境参数的响应机制，建立有效的干湿气候代用指标。

4. 洞穴沉积过程的模拟：基于室内模拟洞穴系统中，揭示岩溶水运移和石笋沉积过程中元素分馏，同位素变化等一系列的过程和机制。

5. 利用石笋Clumped-isotope重建第四纪古温度变化：基于团簇同位素这种新技术方法，利用洞穴石笋重建区域古温度变化。
