معرفی
Fengjing Liu is an Associate Professor at the Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC) of Michigan Technological University. His research focuses on ecohydrology, watershed hydrology, and biogeochemistry, with an emphasis on understanding the impacts of human perturbation and climate change on water resources. He leads studies in snowmelt-dominated watersheds, black ash wetlands, and the interactions between landscape and climate in the Great Lakes region.
Education:
- PhD, Hydrology and Biogeochemistry, University of Colorado at Boulder
- MS, Hydrology and Water Resources, Lanzhou Institute of Glaciology & Geocryology, Chinese Academy of Sciences
- BS, Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology, Lanzhou University, China
Research Interests:
Dr. Liu’s work addresses three core themes: (1) the effects of forest management and invasive species on black ash wetlands, (2) snowmelt dynamics and climate change impacts in headwater catchments, and (3) landscape-climate interactions influencing water and greenhouse gas fluxes. His methods include isotope hydrology, end-member mixing analysis, and advanced hydrochemical tracing.
Publications:
Recent work explores snowmelt-regulated stream chemistry, climate-driven glacier mass loss, and agroforestry’s role in nitrogen mitigation. His studies span diverse regions from the Tibetan Plateau to the Great Lakes Basin, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to water sustainability.
Grants & Advising:
His research has been supported by grants focusing on ecohydrology and climate adaptation. While specific grants are not listed, his publications reflect collaborative projects with institutions like the USDA Forest Service and the National Science Foundation.
Labs/Teams:
Maintains active research programs within the GLRC, focusing on field experiments, hydrological modeling, and environmental monitoring in cold and temperate regions.
