人物任職
現為中國科學院地理科學與資源研究所自然環境變化與格局研究室研究員，中國地理學會自然環境變化與環境考古專業委員會副主任，PLOS ONE學術編委 。
工作內容
主要從事古人地關係（Human-Environment Interactions）方向的研究工作，早年的研究涉及人類社會發展與環境變化關係，近年的研究興趣集中在中國早期農業格局形成過程方面 。先後主持4項國家自然科學基金項目，2項國際合作項目，且作為骨幹力量參加多項科學技術部“十五”國家重點攻關項目、重大科學研究計畫（973）及中國科學院科技先導專項。發表論文80餘篇，主要成果發表在 Nature、 PNAS、 Scientific Reports等國際重要刊物上；部分成果被 Nature-China、 Nature-Asia、 EurekAlert！等學術網站作為研究亮點進行報導 。
