Principal Research Interests:
My research
focuses on the interactions among atmosphere, biosphere, and human dimension in
the context of climate change, chemical element cycles, and policy-making. To
study these interactions, I use a systems approach that integrates the basic
principles of biology, physics, and chemistry. My primary research is to
integrate the knowledge derived from field and laboratory experiments with
theoretical and computational techniques to advance ecosystem sciences.
One of my
major research activities is on carbon exchanges between terrestrial ecosystems
and the atmosphere. I began studies in this area during my dissertation
in University of Alaska. While the growing body of evidence indicates
there are profound changes of climate in northern high latitudes, I was struck
by the dramatic changes of permafrost and soil thermal regime and their
influences on carbon dynamics in the region. Consequently, I spent several
years investigating how changes of soil thermal regime, including permafrost
melting, affect the carbon assimilation and decomposition in the region.
I was also intrigued by the increase of wildfires in northern ecosystems and
their consequences with respect to carbon and nitrogen cycling. To explore
the fire questions, I used modeling as a tool to examine the interactions
between fire disturbances and their effects on soil thermal dynamics,
hydrological dynamics, and carbon and nitrogen cycles in boreal forests.
My second
major research activity is on modeling trace gas emissions from ecosystems and
their effects on climate and society. I’ve modeled methane exchanges between
ecosystems and the atmosphere by considering the effects of permafrost
dynamics, hydrological and vegetation dynamics on methane cycling. The model of
methane dynamics I developed has been tested and validated by using
observations from a variety of ecosystems at different geographical
regions. As a case study, the model has been applied to Alaska to examine
the responses of methane emissions to the climate change. The model has
also been applied for the past and 21st century to study methane
cycling in Northern Hemisphere. Now I am collaborating with a number of
colleagues in the US and Canada to model the methane dynamics in temperate and
tropical regions. In addition, I have been also actively modeling nitrogen
gases emissions from terrestrial ecosystems.
Recently, my
research interests were expanded to analyzing consequences of ozone damage and
other pollutants for ecosystem services and the economy. For example,
I’ve been involved in several studies using a biogeochemistry model, Terrestrial
Ecosystem Model (TEM) and MIT’s
Integrated Global System Model to investigate the ozone effects on net
primary productivity and carbon sequestration for the continental US and the
globe. The research concluded that the effects of ozone should be factored into
future calculations of the US carbon budget. At the global scale,
tropospheric ozone effects on ecosystem dynamics and the interaction with
climate policy produce a large feedback to estimating climate policy costs.
This feedback had not been quantified before.
More
recently, I, my students and post-docs got interested in examining the
biogeochemical and biophysical feedbacks on atmospheric climate and chemistry
with an approach of coupling a number of biosphere and atmosphere models. Example researches include a number of
projects focusing on Northern Eurasia, North America, and Pan-Arctic region
funded by DOE and NASA as well as NSF.
These studies are collaborative efforts with MIT, DOE labs, and a number
of other institutions in the U.S. and other countries.

Graduate Students
The Ecosystems and Biogeochemical
Dynamics Laboratory (EBDL) at Purdue University is seeking one/two graduate
students starting Fall, 2010, who are interested in (1) modeling feedbacks
between the biosphere and atmospheric climate and chemistry and/or (2) modeling
water, carbon and nitrogen cycling in terrestrial ecosystems including
agricultural ecosystems. Students majored in ecosystem sciences, atmospheric
sciences, agronomy and other related fields with proficient mathematical and
computational skills and interests in pursuing PhD programs are preferred. The
students will have the opportunity to interact with faculty members,
scientists, and students in the Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences
and the Department of Agronomy as well as the Purdue Climate Change Research
Center. Interested students are welcomed to contact Prof. Qianlai Zhuang
at qzhuang@purdue.edu
Post-Doctoral Scientist in Ecosystems and Biogeochemical
Dynamics
The Ecosystems
and Biogeochemical Dynamics Laboratory at Purdue University is seeking a
Post-Doctoral Scientist. The responsibility of this position is to apply a
range of skills in ecosystems sciences, remote-sensing and GIS techniques,
programming, and mathematics to address large-scale questions of ecosystem and
biogeochemical dynamics. Proficient
mathematical and computational skills and demonstrated works in the field of
impacts of soil erosion on ecosystem dynamics are preferred. The initial
funding for the position is for one year with potentially renewable for the
second year depending on funding resources. The position will start in January,
2008.
The post-doc
scientist will have the opportunity to interact with faculty members and
scientists in Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences and Department of
Agronomy as well as the Purdue Climate Change Research Center. Please send an
application letter, CV, and names and email addresses of three references to
Dr. Qianlai Zhuang at Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences and
Department of Agronomy of Purdue University (qzhuang@purdue.edu). Applications will be received and evaluated
until the position is filled. Purdue
University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
