I am an Associate Professor from Lanzhou University, visiting Bristol for one year (Sept 2024-Sept 2025), based within the Schools of Earth Sciences and Chemistry collaborating with Dr Caitlyn Witkowski and Professor Rich Pancost. Our research focuses on untangling the complex and dynamic impacts of Tibetan uplift on depositional environments, climate, and biodiversity across the Cenozoic. During my stay, I will use compound specific and stable isotope organic geochemistry to determine quantitative changes in temperature, ecology, and palaeoelevation in a northeastern Tibetan basin that spans the Oligocene to Miocene.
