合讲本科生课程《气候学》、《行星与地球未来》、《地学建模与实习》；
研究生课程《新生代磁性地层与环境》

1. 通过对中国第二大沙漠——巴丹吉林沙漠进行岩心钻探，获取了沙漠地区代表性的地层记录，在此基础上明确了巴丹吉林沙漠形成演化的地质历史及其驱动机制；围绕沙漠记录重建了过去1.2 Ma以来西风与西伯利亚高压、东亚夏季风的时空演化历史及其相互作用过程，并讨论了其驱动机制；对沙漠物源的研究发现巴丹吉林沙漠自形成以来，其沙物质主要来自于北部阿尔泰地区，这与中国黄土的物源存在显著差异，表明近源沙漠并非中国黄土的潜在源区。
2. 发现东亚地区早白垩世存在两次显著的沙漠扩张过程，主要发生在Late Barremian-Early Aptian（124-130 Ma）和Late Aptian-Early Albian (110-114 Ma), 沙漠的扩张主要与大气CO2的升高密切相关。大气CO2的升高增强了中低纬哈德来环流的强度，使得与下沉气流相关干旱带扩大，最终引起沙漠的扩张。这一发现为当前全球变暖背景下中低纬地区干旱带的扩大提供了地质证据。
3. 基于中国黄土记录和粉尘源区的地貌和沉积学证据，发现中更新世（1百万年）以来东亚粉尘的盐碱度显著增强，粉尘中的盐主要来自藏高原北部柴达木盆地和戈壁沙漠的湖泊沉积。全球气候变化引起的粉尘源区湖泊盐度和水位的变化，是造成东亚含盐粉尘增加的主要因素。
