LZU Researchers Make New Progress in the Study of the Evolution and Driving Mechanisms of Inland Lakes in the Arid Region of Asia

Recently, the research team led by Professor Li Guoqiang from the College of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Lanzhou University (LZU) published a paper entitled “Asynchronous Holocene lake evolution in arid mid-latitude Asia is driven by glacial meltwater and variations in Westerlies and the East Asian summer monsoon” in the internationally renowned geological journal Geological Society of America Bulletin.

Professor Li Guoqiang is the first author and first corresponding author of the paper, and LZU is the first completion unit. Dr.Wang Yixuan from the Qinghai Institute of Salt Lakes, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) is the co-corresponding author. Scholars from domestic and international institutions jointly participated in this research, including Dr. Jin Ming and graduates Wang Xiaoyan and Qin Caixin from LZU, Dr. Yang He from Chengdu University of Information Technology (CUIT), Professor Zhao Wenwei and Professor Chen Chunzhu from Nantong University (NTU), Tara N. Jonell from the University of Glasgow (UofG), Associate Professor Zhang Xiaojian from Nanjing University (NJU), Professor David Madsen from the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR).The research was jointly funded by the general program of National Natural Science Foundation of China, the LZU Excellent Youth Program, the Second Tibetan Plateau Scientific Expedition and Research, and the Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars of Gansu Province.
