His Holocene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Arid, Monsoon, Climatology and Physical geography.
Zhongping Lai has researched Mineralogy in several fields, including Luminescence and Silt.
His work is dedicated to discovering how Paleontology, Plateau are connected with Shore, Rangeland management, Growing season, Nutrient cycle and Carex and other disciplines.
His most cited work include:
- Chronology and the upper dating limit for loess samples from Luochuan section in the Chinese Loess Plateau using quartz OSL SAR protocol (168 citations)
- Chronology and the upper dating limit for loess samples from Luochuan section in the Chinese Loess Plateau using quartz OSL SAR protocol (168 citations)
- Alpha efficiency determination for OSL of quartz extracted from Chinese loess (126 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Geomorphology, Physical geography, Loess, Holocene and Plateau.
His Geomorphology research incorporates elements of Geochemistry, Chronology, Optically stimulated luminescence and China.
Optically stimulated luminescence is a subfield of Quartz that Zhongping Lai investigates.
Zhongping Lai studied Quartz and Mineralogy that intersect with Luminescence.
Zhongping Lai interconnects Glacial period, Last Glacial Maximum, Pleistocene, Shore and Monsoon in the investigation of issues within Physical geography.
His research in Loess intersects with topics in Aeolian processes and Grain size.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geomorphology (37.65%)
- Physical geography (37.04%)
- Loess (41.98%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Physical geography (37.04%)
- Plateau (30.25%)
- Holocene (33.33%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Physical geography, Plateau, Holocene, Chronology and Aeolian processes.
His study in Physical geography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Glacial period, Radiocarbon dating, Sedimentary rock, Alluvial fan and China.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Sediment, Tectonics and Optically stimulated luminescence in addition to Holocene.
His Chronology course of study focuses on Geochemistry and Structural basin and Luminescence.
His studies in Aeolian processes integrate themes in fields like Westerlies, Fluvial, Landform and Loess.
His study in the field of Paleosol also crosses realms of Cosmogenic nuclide.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The Kobresia pygmaea ecosystem of the Tibetan highlands – Origin, functioning and degradation of the world's largest pastoral alpine ecosystem: Kobresia pastures of Tibet (57 citations)
- Central Asian moisture modulated by proto-Paratethys Sea incursions since the early Eocene (27 citations)
- Holocene aeolian activity in the Headwater Region of the Yellow River, Northeast Tibet Plateau, China: A first approach by using OSL-dating (18 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Erosion
- Sedimentary rock
Zhongping Lai mainly focuses on Plateau, Aeolian processes, Geochemistry, Holocene and Physical geography.
His Plateau study incorporates themes from Landslide, Growing season, Quaternary, Headward erosion and Nutrient cycle.
The various areas that he examines in his Aeolian processes study include Martian surface, Landform and Loess.
His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Quartz, Chronology and Interglacial.
Zhongping Lai combines subjects such as Glacial period, Structural basin, Thermoluminescence dating, Hydrology and River terraces with his study of Chronology.
His Physical geography research includes elements of Volcano and Geologic record.
