Research Interests：
My research interest, starting from my Ph.D program, is paleoclimatology and paleoecology recorded by terrestrial mollusks in Chinese loess sequences, currently focusing on the Neogene. Terrestrial mollusks are the most common and abundant fossil remains in loess-paleosol sequences. They are very sensitive to environmental changes and have long been regarded as “indicator animal” for the study of loess paleoenvironment. Mollusk fossils have contributed more to the origin and paleoenvironmental evolution of the Quaternary loess-paleosol sequences. 
In the past several years, I and coauthors have provided the first biological evidence for wind-blown origin of the well-known Miocene-Pliocene loess sequence in the western Chinese Loess Plateau, which would be one of important bases for subsequent paleoenvironmental interpretations of these loess sequences. On this base, I and coauthors presented late Miocene-Pliocene evolution of the East Asian monsoon based on terrestrial mollusk record and provided interesting findings of East Asian monsoon evolution from winter to summer monsoon dominated sub-regime characterizing periodicity evolution from 100 kyr to 41 kyr during the late Miocene-Pliocene, contrary to the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT). Currently I am continuing the study on early  and middle Miocene mollusks and their implications for paleoclimate evolution.
