On September 10th, Zhao Bin, an Assistant Professor at School of Environment, Tsinghua University, was awarded the “Global Environmental Change Early Career Award” by American Geophysical Union (AGU) for his outstanding contributions in studying air pollution and climate change. The honorees of the award are three carefully selected young scientists from around the world who have made outstanding achievements within 10 years of receiving their Ph.D. The award recognizes their “outstanding contributions in research, educational, or societal impacts in the area of global environmental change”.
Founded in 1919, AGU is an international academic organization in fields like earth sciences, atmospheric sciences, ocean sciences, hydrological sciences, and space sciences. It has more than 60,000 members in over 100 countries worldwide. Each year, the AGU annual meeting would attract about 30,000 scientists from all over the world.
Dr. Zhao Bin received his Bachelor’s and Ph.D. degrees from Tsinghua University, and was once an assistant researcher at UCLA and an Earth Scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. His research area mainly covers aerosol pollution and its interaction with climate, including the sources and formation mechanisms of particulate matter, aerosol-cloud-climate interactions, and synergistic control of aerosol pollution and climate change. He has published more than 100 papers in international mainstream journals such as Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), Nature Geoscience, and Nature Sustainability, which have been cited over 3800 times in Web of Science. He is also an Associate Editor of Geophysical Research Letters, Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, and Frontiers in Environmental Science.
