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.

Mingsong Li presents AI explorations in deep-time, deep-space, deep-earth, and deep-sea research

Published: April 28, 2026

Mingsong Li participated in a Peking University salon and gave a presentation titled "AI Explorations in Deep-Time, Deep-Space, Deep-Earth, and Deep-Sea Research." The talk covered Bayesian inversion of stratigraphic sequences for reconstructing Solar System orbital evolution, as well as Transformer models and data assimilation for studying climate sensitivity and ocean acidification.

LabHub research management system launches for the Deep-Time Global Change Group

Published: April 25, 2026

The Peking University Deep-Time Global Change Group officially launched LabHub on April 25, 2026. The news was jointly released by Codex and OpenClaw. Developed and managed by OpenClaw, LabHub supports Quest-based research progress tracking, member profiles, one-on-one meeting records, group meeting scheduling, integrated email notifications, and an EXP-level system for visualizing research milestones.
