Personal profile
Research
I am a climatologist working on terrestrial ecosystem modelling and climate modelling. I develop and apply numerical land surface models with in-situ measurements and Big Data. I am currently working on improving LPJ-GUESS’s ability to simulate vegetation response to climate extremes with a focus on sub-seasonal scales. The improved model will be applied to answer the research questions related to the following aspects:
- Vegetation responses to climate extremes, and its legacy effects
- Vegetation feedback through soil-plant-atmosphere continuum
- Vegetation dynamics, biodiversity, and global carbon cycle
- Ecosystem modelling and climate modelling
- Scale dependencies in Earth system modelling
More information about me can be found on my research webpage, Researchgate and Google scholar.
