Mingsong Li
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Earth and Space Sciences at Peking University. My research focuses on paleoclimate, stratigraphy, astronomical forcing, paleohydrology, Earth-system modeling, data assimilation, and time-series analysis.
My group studies how Earth’s climate, oceans, and water cycle changed during warm intervals of deep time. We work with geological records, computational tools, and model-data comparison to ask how quickly environmental change happened, how it differed from place to place, and what mechanisms connected climate, sea level, groundwater, and ocean chemistry.
I also develop open research tools, including Acycle for cyclostratigraphy and paleoclimate time-series analysis, and DeepDA for paleoclimate data assimilation.
