Dr. Xianhong Meng

Dr. Meng is a scientist in Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources, Chinese Academy of Science. She is interested in how land surface conditions respond to climate change, and affect weather and climate substantially, based on observations, satellite data and modelling, particularly over the arid and semi-arid regions, including the high-altitude and cold Tibetan Plateau regions.

Now she leads a field observational station called “Zoige Plateau Wetlands Ecosystem Research Station” in Northeast Tibetan Plateau in China. In iLEAPS, Dr Meng will try to bring more collaboration on land-atmosphere interactions and sustainable development in cold Tibetan Plateau region and arid regions between China and other regions globally.
