As an Associate Professor at the Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, I have dedicated my career to the study of coastal blue carbon, focusing specifically on its burial mechanisms and the potential for increasing its sequestration. I am honored to contribute to global marine conservation efforts as an expert for the United Nations' regular process for global reporting and assessment of the state of the marine environment. My research has been published more than 60 prominent international SCI journals, including Global Change Biology and Environmental Science & Technology. I have also co-authored several books as part of the "China Coastal Zone Research" series, which was recognized among the 2022 Excellent Marine Science and Technology Books. In my current role, I serve as the leader of the research group for coastal ecosystem restoration and blue carbon enhancement. I have led eight national key research projects, including initiatives funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. My contributions to the field have been recognized with the second prize of the Science and Technology Award from the Soil Science Society of China.
