Career Overview

Prof. Weidong Guo is a professor of the Schools of Atmospheric Sciences, Nanjing University. He received his Ph.D. from the Cold and Arid Regions Environmental and Engineering Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2000.He also holds concurrent posts of the Deputy Director of JirLATEST (The Joint International Research Laboratory of Atmospheric and Earth System Sciences), the Deputy Director of the management committee of Jiangsu Collaborative Innovation Center of Climate Change, the Secretary-General of the committee of China of iLEAPS (Integrated Land Ecosystem-Atmosphere Processes Study) and the Deputy Secretary-General of the committee of China of GEWEX (Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment).

His main research interest is climatology, focusing on land-atmosphere interaction. In recent years, he has conducted systematic studies in various fields, including researches on the interaction between terrestrial ecosystems and climate change, regional climate effects of land use and land cover change, as well as land surface processes on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. Prof. Guo has published over 80 related academic papers and co-authered 4 monographs.

Prof. Guo has formerly served as the chief scientist of project Impacts of large-scale land use/cover change on regional climate (2011CB952000), a National Basic Research Program of China during 2011 to 2015. He has also hosted six projects of National Natural Science Foundation of China. He was supported by the K.C.Wong Education Foundation of the Chinese academy of sciences. In 2011, he was selected as the cultivation object of the 333 High-level Talents Training Project” of Jiangsu Province. And in 2012, he was selected into the New Century Excellent Talent Supporting Project by the Ministry of Education.

Currently, he is teaching Modern Climatology and  Earth System Science for undergraduate students and Earth System Modeling for graduate students.
