部分学术成果：

（1）揭示了主要地貌单元的粉尘释放机理，阐明了风沙活动对风成沉积的物质组成有不可忽略的影响，相关研究结果对过去全球变化重建模式的精确度进行了修正。（2）重建了历史时期中国干旱、半干旱区及蒙古地区的沙漠化过程，重建方法和所获得的结果被现代沙漠化监测结果、历史文献及考古资料所证实；通过沙漠化过程模拟，提出了中国本世纪中叶后将有大范围沙漠化的可能。（3）探索了沙漠化的驱动机制及其时空差异性，阐明了气温、降水及风场等因素对沙漠化影响的区域差异，明确了气温升高有利于季风边缘区沙漠化区沙漠化逆转、而导致非季风区沙漠化区沙漠化发展的事实。（4）分析了风沙运动中养分的释放、搬运和沉降机制，归纳了风沙活动对陆地生态系统的影响。（5）指出了黄土高原的物源有明显的季节性变化，自春季、夏秋至冬季，黄土高原西部至少分别存在6，4，和2个主要物源区；证实了沙尘事件发生频率和现代黄土堆积厚度之间没有明显的关联等等。在SCI/SSCI 源期刊上以第一作者发表论文50 余篇。
