Tengfei Yuan

I focus on the biogeochemical cycling of pollutants (especially mercury, Hg) and nutrients under global change. My research integrates Earth system/land surface models with observational data and measurements to understand how these elements move through the Earth system, using an interdisciplinary approach across ecology, atmospheric science, biology, and environmental science.
