Biography of myself
I got my first
academic degree of BS in Geology when getting graduated from Zhejiang
University in 2002 and then was enrolled by IGGCAS pursuing the Ph.D. degree
directly in the name of Prof. Zhongli Ding. However, Prof. Ding transferred me
to Prof. Dahe Qin from the beginning to research cryospheric sciences. Thus
Prof. Qin is my virtual supervisor during my Ph.D. course and I started investigating
black carbon in snow and ice cores located in High Asian mountain glaciers,
advised by Prof. Cunde Xiao during 2002-2008.
Black carbon and other aerosols in the atmosphere over the Tibet Plateau are also my research interests. I had been focused on measuring black carbon in snow and ice collected from the glaciers in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and Tianshan Mountain. Most of the samples for the black-carbon data in my Ph.D thesis were analyzed with the supervision of Prof. Helene Cachier in the Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement (LSCE), CNRS/CEA in Paris and the research was co-funded by Prof. Jerome Chappellaz in the Laboratoire de Glaciologie et Géophysique de l’Environnement (LGGE), CNRS in Grenoble. My results demonstrated that aerosols including industry-induced sulfate and black carbon generated from incomplete combustions of biomass and fossil fuel in South and Central Asia can be transported over the highly elevated Hiamlaya and penetrate the TP, and cause darkening effect in the surface of the glaciers.
In July of 2008, I succeeded to obtain Ph.D. degree. After that, I was recruited as a research scientist by National Climate Centre, China Meteorological Administration as a research associate professor since October of 2010. I extended to investigate on the impacts of snow impurities deposition on the surface energy and mass balances of the glaciers. Watching the albedo of the glaciers through the in situ observations and MODIS is also in my vision.
Beyond scientific research, I am involved in taking service on the scientific support of climate change of NCC/CMA, including the policy-making inquiry on the impacts of climate change and scientific popularization of climate change to the general public. And in specific, I am working as a member of the Chinese Technical Support Unit, serving for Prof. Dahe Qin who was the co-chair of the Working Group I of AR4/5 of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
I have a partnership of international ambitious scientists, who have contributed highly impacting scientific papers during the past ten years, including those published in Atmos. Chem. Phys., Environ. Res. Lett., PLOS One, and etc. With some partners, I set up a Snow-Ice-Aerosol analyzing laboratory (SIA) in Beijing, which is focusing on analyzing the aerosols deposited in snow and ice. These information can be referred to @ www.dirtysnow.org.
I’m also involved in the Arctic and Antarctic ice-core research during my visit in Dr. Ross Edwards’ group based in Curtin University, Australia. In his TRACE laboratory, ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica are analyzed for DNA, black carbon, and trace elements, for which I am fully joining in the analyzing group, which will take years to be completely coming into publications.
