主要學術成果：十餘年來，一直致力於東亞季風氣候的地質記錄研究，發表第一作者論文11篇，其中5篇論文發表在國際SCI刊物上，主要學術成績如下：
1、中國黃土石英顆粒的粒度組成，提出我國黃土中石英顆粒的粒度是東亞冬季風強度的直接代用指標，建立了末次冰期、間冰期旋迴東亞冬季風變遷的高解析度時間序列，揭示了東亞季風的不穩定性特徵。
2、日本琵琶湖的風塵沉積，提出日本琵琶湖沉積中的細顆粒石英是來自亞洲內陸的粉塵，在我國大陸外圍季風區獲得了第一個連續的風塵沉積序列，建立了湖泊沉積記錄的東亞冬季風變遷的模式。
3、琵琶湖的硅藻產率，提出琵琶湖中的硅藻的興衰反映湖區降水量的大小，硅藻產率可作為湖區降水量的代用指標，建立了倒數第2次冰期以來湖區降水量變化的高分別率時間序列。
4、東亞季風環流的3次轉型，通過對比研究我國大陸和日本島÷沉積環境的變化，提出東亞季風環流經過3次轉型：約2.5Ma前。冬季風成形；1.2－1.1Ma前，冬、夏季風形成明顯對比，季風環流增強；0.55－0.45Ma前，冬、夏季風對比度增強，季風環流再次加強。
