DRYLANDS
Dr. Jin is the lead PI for the Drylands Cluster.
Dr. Jin’s main research interest is to study the chemical, physical and biological processes in natural and managed critical zone in Drylands. I am particularly interested in the conditions, kinetics and mechanisms of the precipitation of pedogenic carbonates and the release of green house gas CO2 in flood-irrigated agricultural fields, by combining field investigation, laboratory column experiments, remote sensing, flux tower, and reactive transport modelling.
