Education:
- PhD in Atmospheric Science, Columbia University (1996)
- MS in Atmospheric Science, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (1988)
- BS in Atmospheric Science, Nanjing University (1985)
Research Interests:
- Arctic climate feedback mechanisms and amplification
- Climate change impacts on hydrology and extreme weather
- Role of ocean-atmosphere interactions in multidecadal variability
- Climate model evaluation and reanalysis datasets
Key Contributions:
His work on Arctic sea ice loss, ENSO teleconnections, and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation has refined understanding of climate extremes and future projections. The CONUS404 dataset, developed under his leadership, provides high-resolution hydroclimate data for the contiguous U.S., enhancing climate service applications.
