主要从事海洋气候变化与环境演变研究，利用珊瑚地球化学指标与海洋模式相结合，进行高分辨率海洋气候事件定量化重建。基于珊瑚的元素、同位素指标和海洋环流模式，研究南海、吕宋海峡等海域的气候环境演变以及人类活动的响应，并成功利用珊瑚指标重建黑潮流量变化；充分结合珊瑚高分辨率地球化学分析方法和海洋动力学理论，开展工业革命以来印太交汇区暖池演变和海洋热浪等方面的研究工作。主持国家自然科学基金项目、中国博士后基金、南海所开放基金等4项。已发表科研论文10余篇，其中第一作者SCI论文7篇，包括Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Geophysical Research Letters, Science Bulletin等，研究成果获AGU会刊EOS报道。
