Linqiang He (何林强)
Hello! I am Linqiang He, currently a Lamont-Doherty Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University, working with Profs. Michela Biasutti and Yochanan Kushnir. Before joining Lamont in the summer of 2024, I received my PhD from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the supervision of Prof. Tianjun Zhou.
My research focuses on how the hydroclimate responds to past and future warm states. By integrating proxy evidence, theoretical understanding, and climate modeling, I aim to better understand how the hydroclimate evolved in the past and how it informs future changes—particularly in monsoon and Mediterranean climate systems.

Mar 2026 I was awarded the Lamont-Doherty Postdoctoral Fellowship, hosted by Michela Biasutti, beginning in May 2026.
Jan 2026 Our work, “Enhanced Mediterranean Wetting in Response to Cold Indian Ocean SST during the Last Interglacial”, co-authored with Michela Biasutti and Yochanan Kushnir, was published in Journal of Climate. (The first paper from my postdoctoral research!)
Dec 2025 I attended AGU 2025 in New Orleans and presented two posters: “Past Warm Climates Inform the Future South Asian Summer Monsoon” and “Tropical Pacific Warming Constrains Future Mediterranean Summer Drying.” Despite a six-hour flight delay due to a snowstorm, it was a wonderful meeting.
Nov 2025 I gave a seminar talk at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory titled “Regional Hydroclimate Responses to Warming: A Paleoclimate Modeling Perspective.”
Nov 2025 I gave an online talk at the Paleoclimatology Group Seminar titled “Past Warm Climates Inform the Future Asian Summer Monsoon.”
Oct 2025 I joined the Climate Learning Lab at the American Museum of Natural History as a volunteer and have been serving on a biweekly volunteer shift ever since. A rewarding experience beyond research!
May 2025 My PhD work, “Past Warm Intervals Inform the Future South Asian Summer Monsoon”, co-authored with Tianjun Zhou and Zhun Guo, was published in Nature and highlighted in Nature News & Views.
Apr 2025 I attended EGU 2025 in Vienna and presented the poster “Interglacial Mediterranean Wetting Driven by Suppressed Indian Ocean Convection.” It was also great to reunite with advisors and friends from my PhD years.
Feb 2025 My PhD work, “Cenozoic Evolution of Spring Persistent Rainfall in East Asia and North America Driven by Paleogeography”, co-authored with many wonderful collaborators, was published in Communications Earth & Environment.
Dec 2024 I attended AGU 2024 in Washington, DC and presented the poster “Mid-Pliocene Informs the Future Seasonal March of the East Asian Summer Monsoon.” My first AGU meeting!
Nov 2024 My PhD work, “Earlier Seasonal March of the East Asian Summer Monsoon in the Mid-Pliocene”, was published in Journal of Climate.
Sep 2024 I began my postdoctoral appointment at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University. The beginning of a new chapter!
June 2024 I received my PhD in Meteorology from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
