Xu Zhang

Xu Zhang is a Research Fellow affiliated with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) under the Cambridge NERC Doctoral Landscape Awards (C-CLEAR DTP) at the University of Cambridge. Their work focuses on climate science, particularly abrupt and nonlinear climate changes such as Dansgaard-Oeschger events and glacial cycles.

• Research Area: Dynamics of past climate changes
• Institution: University of Cambridge and British Antarctic Survey

Research interests include:

• Global core climate tipping elements and cascade effects
• Quaternary millennial-to-orbital time scale climate variability
• Antarctic forcings and feedbacks in climate changes
• Tropical hydroclimate variability
• Paleoclimate data assimilation
• Marine carbon cycle

Xu Zhang leads a modeling protocol in the PAGES Quaternary Interglacial working group to study sea level-CO2 evolution during Marine Isotope Stage 11c and Termination V. Their interdisciplinary approach combines proxy records, numerical models, statistical methods, and machine learning.
