Bio
Prof. Zhu Liu is a Professor and Principle Investigator at Department of Earth System Science, Tsinghua University. Zhu Liu initiated and led the Carbon Monitor project that provides first ever global daily CO2 emission dataset.
He takes integrated approach to assess the human impacts on the earth system in terms of greenhouse gas emissions (Nature 2015, Nature 2019). He has pioneered the study on anthropogenic carbon sink, the phenomenon and measurement that artifacts can uptake CO2 from atmosphere (Nature Geoscience 2016). His broad research interests also crosses the Life-environment interrelationship in Early-life evolution (Chinese Science Bulletin,2007), astrobiology and the science and policy toward advancing the human sustainability.
He earned the designation of Global Highly Cited Researcher from Clarivate for 2018, 2019 and 2022, and Highly Cited Chinese Researchers from Elsevier in 2022.
