Major Scientific Achievements

Prof. Weijian Zhou has made exceptional contributions to studies of global environmental changes, and to promote sustainable socio-economic development in China, based on the fundamental research.

1. One of Prof. Zhou’s earliest major contributions to 14C analysis was the development of a radiocarbon dating method for samples containing only 100-200mg carbon using liquid scintillation decay counting, and establishing various types of sample pretreatments for reliable dating. At the time, due to China’s economic situation, funding was not available for construction of a dedicated Chinese AMS facility. The technique came to be known in China as “the first Chinese small sample 14C liquid scintillation technique”. According to the former director of the University of Sydney’s NWG Macintosh Centre for Quaternary Dating, Professor Mike Barbetti wrote "Development of technology for handling small samples in Xi’an for radiocarbon dating has filled a void between large-sample and micro-sample analysis and it has proven that it can provide high quality data. This is an important and valuable contribution to 14C dating." (the selected paper 44, 59, 61, 64, 67)

2. In 1996, she pioneeringly carried out high-resolution radiocarbon dating in China, and was the first to identify evidence of 12.9-11.6 ka YD event in the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) area and to indicate that it had both the hemispherical cooling feature and large precipitation variability which has been verified by speleothem records (Wang et al., 2001, Science). She specifically identified the spatial variability of YD and the impact of paleo-ENSO on the precipitation variability during this event. She first demonstrated that the East Asian YD could be regarded as the result of interaction between high- and low-latitude climates. This work offered the possible historical analogue of the future abrupt climatic reversal under global warming. Through the study of the biomarker extracted from peat sequence, she and her team discovered the moist conditions in the Bølling-Allerød (14.5 to 12.9 ka), Younger Dryas (12.9 to 11.5 ka), and Pre-Boreal (11.5 to 10.5 ka). Depressed Paq values, C23/C29 ratios and larger n-alkane average chain length values indicate that the Holocene Climatic Optimum (10.5 to 6 ka) was warmer with lower effective precipitation in Northeastern China. The study advanced the use of biomarker lipids for paleoclimate reconstruction and enhanced understanding of East Asian monsoon variability. (the selected paper 42, 56, 65)

3. The paleogeomagnetic measured geomagnetic polarity reversals in Chinese loess is asynchronous with those from marine sediments, leading to long-standing questioning on Chinese loess chronology and its climatic correlation with global records. She developed a ground-breaking mathematical model to disentangle the global geomagnetic field and regional precipitation signals in the loess 10Be, which had been previously considered impossible due to the mixture of 10Be from different sources. Using this novel 10Be method, she has determined the accurate ages of geomagnetic polarity reversal boundaries (Matuyama/Gauss (M/G), Brunhes/Matuyama (B/M) reversals, Jaramillo subchron) in the Chinese loess sequences, resolving the near 30-year debate about the age offset between Chinese loess and marine sediment . She also proposed that during the geomagnetic polarity reversals, a fraction of the loess original depositional magnetic remanence was overprinted by later chemical remanent magnetization which is too refractory to be removed by thermal or alternating field demagnetization, leading to deeper (older) geomagnetic records in loess than in marine records. (the selected paper 1, 7, 8, 35, 40)

4. She developed a new method to quantitatively reconstruct Asian monsoon (AM) precipitation using loess 10Be. Based on the loess 10Be-derived AM precipitation records, in 2007, she first proposed the hypothesis that orbital-scale AM variability is governed by the interhemispheric low-latitude summer insolation gradient, and in a subsequent Science article (2018), she further elucidated this hypothesis and demonstrated that low latitude climate, through the monsoons, may have as much effect on high latitude climate as the reverse, challenging the classic Milankovitch high-latitude climate forcing theory. Recently, she quantitatively reconstructed the AM precipitation record over the past 900,000 years and further proposed that the Earth’s orbital eccentricity could influence monsoon precipitation via modulating Earth’s precessional amplitude. She also suggested a novel hypothesis that climate change can influence geomagnetic field variations through changes of global ice volumes. (the selected paper 8, 24, 33, 47)

5. She established the Xi'an Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) Center, whose performance met or exceeded international levels, and recognized as one of China’s top ten national large-scale scientific instrument sharing platforms. This facility provides reliable approaches for radiocarbon dating and cosmogenic nuclides analysis, and has been of enormous scientific benefit to environment scientists in China and beyond. (the selected paper 44, 46, 51)

6. She launched and chaired a research project tracing fossil-fuel-derived CO2 emissions using atmospheric 14CO2 observations in 15 Chinese megacities. She discovered that fossil-fuel CO2 and atmospheric PM2.5 exhibited synchronous variations. She suggested coordinated pollution reduction and carbon mitigation strategies to the Chinese authorities. The methodology she developed was incorporated into the 2021 “Pilot Work Plan for Carbon Monitoring and Evaluation” issued by the Chinese Ministry of Ecology and Environment. Her team work was cited in the “Urban Greenhouse Gas Emission Observation and Monitoring Good Research Practice Guidelines” (2022) released by World Meteorological Organization (WMO), United Nations, serving as a guideline for reducing carbon emissions and promoting climate change adaptation in China. (the selected paper 11, 18, 36)

She has published over 350 widely cited, peer-reviewed articles, including 20 papers in Science, Nature and their sub-journals, and PNAS. She won 3 Chinese National Natural Science Awards, 5 first prizes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Shaanxi Province, China, Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress of Ho Leung Ho Lee Foundation, National Innovation Competition Award, China. She is a CAS Member, a Fellow of The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) and a Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU), a member of the Advisory Committee of TWAS. She serves as associated editor of ‘Radiocarbon’, Deputy Director of China Committee of the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP-China), Member of Anthropocene Working Group (AWG), Director of Committee of Anthropocene Branch, Geological Society of China, and Deputy Director of the Women Scientists Association, Shaanxi, China.

She was elected a council member of UNESCO’s International Geoscience Programme in charge of Global Change Theme in 2018. She proposed to set up a research theme on the Anthropocene, which reached a high degree of consensus. The Anthropocene was identified as a priority of IGCP, and the project IGCP-732 focusing on Anthropocene study, was approved by UNESCO in 2021. She served as member of The Union Fellows Committee at AGU, member of PAGES/CLIVAR committee, deputy director of Standing Committee of the Earth Science Division of CAS.

She is an outstanding scientist who is active in the international academic frontier in terms of global environmental changes. She was elected as one of “The First Top Ten Female Outstanding Scholars of the CAS”, “Honorary Title of Outstanding Woman, China” issued by The All-China Women's Federation, “Excellent Women Scientist Award” of CAS.

Consultation reports to the Chinese Government

Combining scientific theory with practice, Zhou has presented to the Chinese government numerous Reports related to western China and the Loess Plateau. These focus on landscape restoration and comprehensive environmental management, and contribute to China’s and the United Nation’s “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. The Reports have been adopted by the government and have had important impacts on China’s economic and social development. For example:

  • “In 2018, Zhou et al. outlined a comprehensive governance strategy for the ecological environment of the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP, ~600,000 km2 and home to more than 100 million people). This proposed the ‘26-Character Strategy’, which involved ‘Consolidating gullies & mitigating headward erosion on the tableland, Returning farmlands to forests or grasslands on the hillslopes, Constructing dams and creating new farmlands in the valley, and Stabilizing sand by restoring shrubs and grasses in the sandy land’. Most of these recommendations have been adopted by the government.” (Zhisheng An, 2024, Bulletin of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 38: 2024004. https://doi.org/10.1051/bcas/2024004). This is the most comprehensive strategic guide for ecological management on the Chinese Loess Plateau. The Governor of Shaanxi Province paid great attention to this report and instructed relevant departments of the government to implement the policy, which has produced significant ecological and environmental benefits.
  • In February and April 2017, Zhou et al. wrote formal letters to Keqiang Li, Premier of the State Council of China, proposing the launch of a Premier’s Fund project on “The Causes, Development Trends, Environmental Impacts, and Countermeasures of Haze in Northern China”. Premier Li approved this proposal which led to the largest dedicated air pollution control program in China. It made significant contributions to help achieve a 64% reduction in PM2.5 concentrations and a 92% decrease in heavily polluted days in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region over the past decade. At the 2017 National People’s Congress, Zhou also raised the issue of agricultural ammonia pollution with Premier Li, which resulted in action by the China Central Government to reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizers, making an important contribution to controlling atmospheric ammonia emissions.  See: (https://www.gov.cn/xinwen/2017-03/09/content_5175770.htm)
  • In 2001, Zhou et al. proposed a consultant report of “The Impact of Natural Processes and Human Activities on the Ecological Environment in Western China” to Zemin Jiang, the former President of China. The report pointed out that the current ecological environment in Western China is the result of the long-term evolution of the natural environment. As a consequence, the revegetation in Western China should follow the principles of natural restoration and vegetation zonation. The report corrects the impractical management approach of “turning desert into oasis” in the arid environment of Western China.
