Dr. Qing Sun

Qing Sun focuses on understanding terrestrial biogeochemical cycles and the interactions between land cover dynamics and climate at regional to global scales. She studied Agricultural Soil-Water Engineering at China Agricultural University and spent a year as a full-time volunteer biology teacher in a secondary school before pursuing a doctoral degree in Plant Sciences at ETH Zurich. Throughout her academic and professional journey, Qing has engaged in a range of research areas centred on global warming and sustainability. She contributes to several international collaborative initiatives, including the Global Carbon Budget (GCB), the Nitrogen/N2O Model Intercomparison Project (NMIP), and the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP). With an interdisciplinary background in hydraulic engineering, experimental ecophysiology, and process-based modelling, Qing works to advance knowledge as well as tools to support climate change adaptation and mitigation.
