Biography
Based on a series of research, I published 40 leading /corresponding author SCIpapers, in such top environment and remote sensing journals as Nature Communications, Science Bulletin, Environment internationalEarth System Science Data , ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Environmental Pollution , Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics , Geoderma  and Soiland Tillage Research . I published a book in Cambridge Scholars Pressing. My team also released a global fire data set and a national PM2.5 data set, which make unique contribution to air pollution research in China. 
Research Areas and Featured Projects
Attribution on Composite Airborne pollution In recent years, with the gradual decrease of PM2.5 concentrations and rapid increase of ozone concentrations, composite atmospheric pollution has become an urgent environmental issue in China. However, the sole use of traditional statistical models struggles to isolate the effect of individual influencing factors on airborne pollutants and thus the meteorological and anthropogenic attribution of airborne pollution remains highly challenging. Based on advanced causation models, causality models and Chemical Transport Models,our team separated and quantified the meteorological and anthropogenic drivers for atmospheric pollution in China. For PM2.5, our research established a theoretical system of PM2.5-meteorology interactions,revealed the spatiotemporal difference between dominant meteorological factors for PM2.5 pollution across regions and comprehensively evaluated the effects of long-term, contingent, local and region integrative emission-reduction strategies. For ozone, our research revealed the spatiotemporal similarity of dominant meteorological factors, indicative precursors, and formation-regimes for ozone concentrations across regions.
