Junlan Xiao
Postdoctoral researcher in the CONCERTO project, where I look forward to further contributing to research on ecosystem-climate interactions and land-carbon dynamics
My name is Junlan Xiao and I am from China. I completed my PhD in Physical Geography at Southwest University (China). My research focuses on how elevated CO2 interacts with climate dryness to shape vegetation productivity and terrestrial carbon dynamics.
To study these questions, I integrate satellite remote sensing, flux tower observations, climate data, and machine learning approaches, including causal inference methods. My work aims to understand how vegetation responses vary across environmental gradients, identify ecological thresholds, and improve our understanding of carbon-water coupling under changing climate conditions.
Over the past two years, I have been based at CREAF as part of my doctoral research placement, and I will now continue here as a postdoctoral researcher in the CONCERTO project, where I look forward to further contributing to research on ecosystem-climate interactions and land-carbon dynamics.
I enjoy exploring nature, travelling, hiking, and discovering new landscapes. I also enjoy concerts and casual gatherings with friends.
