Brief Introduction

Dr. Siliang Li is Professor in Tianjin University. His study is mainly focused on environmental geochemistry and environmental geography, including estimation of nitrate sources and transformation based on stable isotopes, chemical weathering processes in the rivers based on multi isotopes (δ13C, δ34S, δ7Li, δ44/40Ca), biogeochemical processes and C-S-N coupling in mountain rivers. His oversea working experiences include being a visiting scholar in Department of Earth Sciences in University of Cambridge, UK, IPGP and Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon in France. He has carried out over 10 research projects on biogeochemistry and nutrient cycling. He has published over 120 peer-reviewed journal papers and proceedings, among which over 70 are in the international journals (e.g. JGRGCAEPSLESTNature Comm). He was invited to attend “Consultants Meeting on the GNIR – Global Network of Isotopes in Rivers” organized by IAEA as one of consultants from China. He has organized several international meetings as one of secretaries or conveners. He has carried out over 10 research projects on biogeochemistry and nutrient cycling, including the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars and the excellent young scientist funded by National Natural Scientific Foundation of China (NSFC).

Research Interests
  • Biogeochemical cycling: Understanding Carbon and nutrient transportation as well as riverine biogeochemical processes in Chinese large rivers based on stable isotopes.
  • Environmental Geochemistry: Using multi stable isotopes (C, N, S) to understand environmental change and human activities in surface Earth.
  • Biogeochemistry in Critical Zone: Determining macronutrient fluxes related important biogeochemical processes within karst catchment, SW China, including source identification and attenuating processes.

Academic Achievements
Team
Research Center for Watershed Biogeochemical Cycles
Through integrating the multidisciplinary theories of surface earth system science, the Research Center for Watershed Biogeochemical Cycles (RCWBC) is devoting to improve the understanding of the geochemical laws and processes that shape the surface-earth system, which can offer solutions to energy production, agriculture, water quality and other societal benefits to our energy and environmental missions. The RCWBC brings together researchers from the surface-earth system science community, and promote joint, comprehensive and interdisciplinary researches. The RCWBC aims to cultivate young talents in the field of environmental and ecological protection, by training students on field observation, lab experiments, as well as model simulations.
