Nanyang Assistant Professor at Nanyang Technological University. Soil carbon cycle, computational ecology. Views are my own.

Joined November 2016
Check out our new research paper just released online in @nature! nature.com/articles/s41586-0… We found microbes play a key role in global soil organic carbon storage, using >50k soil carbon profiles, a microbial process explicit model, data assimilation, and deep learning. 🧵

Burying wood debris “is the most effective and the least expensive, and possibly the most sustainable way to capture carbon” as I opinionated in Cornell Chronicle. This CO2 removal strategy makes it hopeful to control warming at 2 oC or below if adopted. news.cornell.edu/stories/202…
