The main research achievements of him and his team include: the discovery that the influence of deep water masses in the Western Pacific increased sharply during the Last Glacial Maximum; and the discovery of its 1500-year history through high-resolution research on the evolution of the Kuroshio in the Holocene. changing cycles; explained the different driving mechanisms of the East Asian winter monsoon and summer monsoon from an oceanographic perspective; established a long sequence of paleoclimate records in the deep sea area of the South China Sea for more than one million years; research on drilling in the Southern Ocean found for the first time evidence of a sharp strengthening of the East Asian winter monsoon in the late Pliocene, etc. His research has led to the development of paleoceanographic research in China's sea areas towards three-dimensional high-resolution and long-term series.
