Mengxi's research interest is the interaction between land surface processes and hydrological cycles. He is currently working on the relationship between surface processes and atmospheric convection, particularly in the "Green Ocean Amazon" region. His research combines the analyses of in-situ measurements, satellite imagery, and regional climate simulation.
