Prof. Wei LI

Associate Professor, Tsinghua University

Dr. Wei Li works as an associate professor at Department of Earth System Science, Tsinghua University. His research focuses on land use change, forest disturbance and the global carbon cycle. For the historical land use change, he estimated the carbon fluxes from soil and biomass using field measurements and remote sensing data. He analyzed and compared the global gross and net land use change from several datasets for the recent decades. He recently focuses more on the impacts of climate mitigation options (e.g., nature-based solution) on ecosystems. His group implemented bioenergy crop modeling in the global vegetation model (ORCHIDEE) and applied this model for future BECCS climate mitigation scenario simulations. He has broad interests in the multiple ways to quantify the ecosystem responses to land-based climate mitigation options and to reduce the uncertainties in the global carbon cycle.
