Education and Work Experience:
 The impact of global changes on mercury (Hg) biogeochemical cycling is the most important challenge for Hg pollution control and convention implements. Focus on this research field, I obtained a breakthrough in understanding the theory of Hg cycling and the innovation of modeling setup based on the researches in typical climate sensitive areas. First, I have exhibited the key mechanism of Hg accumulation in global terrestrial ecosystems, and depicted that climate and vegetation changes are the fundamental factor to shape the Hg accumulation in global soils, and found that the distinct atmospheric Hg0 sink in glacier retreated regions, which expanding our understanding of how Hg behavior to respond global warming in the cryosphere. Second, I developed a state-of-the-science mechanistic model for estimating the natural Hg emission, and displayed the importance for natural Hg emissions on atmospheric Hg mass balance in China, and verified the overestimate of China’s Hg outflow by west counties scientist groups, which benefiting the environmental Hg diplomatic negotiations and the government implements of Minamata Convention. Building upon such successful earlier efforts, I have published 19 full-length articles in premier peer-reviewed journals of environmental and biogeochemical sciences, such as one paper in PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America), four papers in ES&T (Environmental Science & Technology).
