Dr. Zhang contributes to a new publication in EPSL as one of the corresponding authors. They focused on two Permian biocrises and combined the U-isotope records with LOSCAR model. Their results indicated that the response of ecosystem during the carbon cycle perturbation is sensitive to the carbon emission rates. Wang, W., Zhang, F., Zhang, S., Cui, Y., Zheng, Q., Zhang, Y., et al. (2023). Ecosystem responses of two Permian biocrises modulated by CO2 emission rates.

Dr. Zhang publishes a new paper in Limnology and Oceanography. This paper explores the capacity of rivers to carry dissolved products derived from enhanced rock weathering (ERW) without CO2 re-release , rendering a full understanding of the life cycle of ERW and its associated maximum carbon dioxide revoval potential.

Dr. Zhang participates in the NSF-funded DeCODER project. This $3.2 million project aims to standardize how scientific data is described, allowing for search engines for scientific data that not only support discoverability but also facilitate the usage of the data.
