Biography

Jing Tao is a project scientist in the Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division. Dr. Tao works on terrestrial ecosystem modeling with a focus on the coupled interactions between eco-hydrological and biogeochemical processes, particularly the water and carbon cycles and their feedback to climate change. Dr. Tao has a broad research background, including hydrology, hydroclimatology, hydrobiogeochemistry, and permafrost carbon-climate feedback. She has participated in LBNL Terrestrial Ecosystem Science (TES) Scientific Focus Area (SFA) soil warming experiments, permafrost greenhouse gases (CO₂ and CH₄) emissions, and other projects related to water and carbon cycles.
