Biography

Jinshi Jian is a postdoctoral research scientist at the Joint Global Change Research Institute. His research focuses on integrating large datasets into statistical and process-based models to understand environmental and human-related influences, such as increasing atmosphere CO2 concentration, on soil carbon decomposition and protection.

Research Interest

  • Soil carbon decomposition and protection under global climate change
  • Data integration and data analysis
  • Soil health and conservation management

Education

  • PhD in Crop and Soil Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
  • MS in Soil and Water Conservation, Northwest A&F University
  • BS in Soil and Water Conservation, Southwest Forestry University

Affiliations and Professional Service

  • American Society of Agronomy
  • American Geophysical Union
  • Ecological Society of America
  • World Association of Soil and Water Conservation
