Xin Yu

Xin Yu is a Doctoral Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in the Department Biogeochemical Integration (BGI). She is associated with the IMPRS-gBGC (International Max Planck Research School) and the USMILE project group.

• Education
  • M.Sc. in Hydrology, Tsinghua University (2018–2020)
  • B.Sc. in Hydrology, Wuhan University (2014–2018)

Research Focus: Xin Yu’s work bridges machine learning with earth systems, emphasizing ecosystem carbon cycles, climate-ecosystem interactions, and legacy effects of extreme events like droughts. Her projects analyze how vegetation responds to climate change in arid regions and compare forest-grassland drought resilience.

Publication Trends: Recent studies focus on water limitation in ecosystems, drought legacy effects on productivity, and machine learning applications for climate modeling. Keywords include Climate Science, Ecology, and Hydrology.

Labs & Teams: Collaborates with the Atmosphere-Biosphere Coupling, Climate and Causality research group and contributes to the USMILE project, which adapts machine learning for earth systems.
