Mengmeng Liu
Postdoctoral Research Associate
Mengmeng focuses on Earth system feedbacks. Many feedbacks in the Earth systems are positive (not equal to “good”, just like covid), making warming warmer and cooling cooler, in other words, making things worse, thus very important when predicting future climate change. However, model values vary and previous constraints not very satisfying. Therefore, she used the past rapid warmings in the last glacial period, called Dansgaard–Oeschger events, to make new quantifications. She had successfully quantified the greenhouse-gas climate feedbacks, as well as the albedo feedbacks from vegetation effect, snow effect and their combined effect during her PhD study at Imperial College London. She will continue with fire feedback and dust feedback here as a postdoc.
