Resume

Yanmin Cao received her Ph.D. degree in Physical Geography from Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2013. Then she joined South-Central Minzu University in the same year. Her research has focused on lake environmental changes under the multiple stressors of climate warming and human activities since her graduate studies. And now she also works on peatland ecosystems, including modern and past environment changes. She has chaired 2 National Natural Science Foundations of China and 1 Natural Science Foundation of Hubei Province of China, and has published more than 10 peer-reviewedpapers.
