Research Interest:
I am a researcher with a strong interest in sedimentology, organic geochemistry, paleontology, and paleoclimatology. I believe that all components in the Earth are connected to the carbon cycle, and it is essential to study the interaction between different components in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the carbon cycle. By examining sedimentary rocks, organic matter, fossils, and paleoclimatic data, I aim to reconstruct the carbon cycle in the Earth's history and gain insight into its dynamics and feedback mechanisms.
My ultimate goal is to contribute to advancing our understanding of the carbon cycle and its impact on the Earth's environment. Through my research, I hope to provide insights into how the carbon cycle has influenced the evolution of life on Earth and how it may continue to affect our planet in the future.
