High-resolution OSL dating of aeolian and lacustrine deposits in arid regions and the Tibetan Plateau.
Climate changes driven by westerlies and monsoons at different timescales and their impacts on lake ecosystems and environmental changes in arid regions.
OSL dating of Paleolithic sites in northern China over the past 300,000 years and studies on past human-environment relationships.
Research on the impacts of climate change at different timescales on species evolution, human dispersal, and major diseases.

The candidate's research focuses on the frontier scientific issue of "Westerlies-Monsoon climatic change and its impact". They have investigated the luminescence characteristics of loess and paleolake shoreline deposits in arid central-East Asia and applied the newly developed K-feldspar luminescence dating method to extend the dating limit of these sedimentary archives from 50-70 ka to 250-300 ka. Precipitation variability in arid central-East Asia over the past 250,000 years is reconstructed using luminescence dating, proxy indexes from loess records, and paleoclimatic modeling. Results reveal that Westerlies precipitation over central Asia has exhibited anti-phase variations compared to changes in summer monsoon precipitation in East Asia during the last two interglacial periods. The primary factor driving spatial-temporal changes in precipitation has been elucidated. Additionally, the candidate has investigated the spatial-temporal pattern of lake evolution in arid central-East Asia during the late Quaternary through systematic luminescence dating studies on various paleolake shoreline records. Findings indicate that lake-level fluctuations in the western regions of arid central-East Asia are influenced by Westerlies precipitation and modulated by glacier meltwater over orbital and suborbital timescales. The East Asian summer monsoon exerts a dominant influence on precipitation and lake level fluctuations in the eastern Alexa Plateau and its eastern surroundings.
