Qianyou Wang (qianyou.wang@liverpool.ac.uk) is now a PhD researcher at the University of Liverpool, where he investigates the terrigenous organic matter deposition within syn rift lake basins from the perspective of tectono-stratigraphy and paleoclimate change. His research interests include: i) organic carbon burial in response to depositional evolution and climate change, ii) secondary mineral formation and alteration in terrestrial and marine settings – implications for paleoenvironment reconstruction and interpretation of geochemical proxy records, iii) time-series analysis and its application in sedimentology and stratigraphy.
