Research Interests：Climate dynamics and climate prediction

-The interactions between multi-spatiotemporal variabilities of Eurasian climate and ecosystems, with a focus on the interactions between vegetation growth and interannual−interdecadal variations of regional and large-scale climate.

-The impacts of air-land-sea interactions on extreme climate and weather events and their underlying physical mechanisms.

-The theory, methods, and modeling of climate prediction for extreme climate events.

-Risk analysis of typhoon disasters
