Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Yichan Li's research focuses on paleoclimatology and environmental science, investigating past climate changes and their implications. Li has published on topics including Holocene effective moisture changes, global drought-pluvial volatility, and the connection between East Asian and North American climate modes. Their work also examines changes in lake organic carbon sinks and evaluates human impacts on these systems. Recent publications include studies on granite weathering and gully erosion in subtropical regions, and paleoclimatic proxies from global closed basins as indicators of the Anthropocene. Li has a publication record of 23 papers with 74 citations and an h-index of 5. They have collaborated with Linyin Cheng at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville on shared publications.
