I'm Chia-Yu Yang

PhD at Kyoto Prefectural University

我是一名研究超基性與蛇紋岩土壤的博士後研究員, 透過礦物學、磁化率與地球化學(Cr–Ni–Fe 系統)探討母岩與氣候對成土作用的影響。

同時,我也研究以岩石促進風化(ERW)達成碳移除與永續農業的可能性。

我的目標是建立一個連結土壤演化、礦物轉化與全球環境變遷的整合框架。

I am a postdoctoral researcher in soil science focusing on ultramafic and serpentine soils. My work integrates soil mineralogy, magnetic susceptibility, and geochemistry (Cr–Ni–Fe systems) to understand how parent material and climate shape pedogenesis. I also explore enhanced rock weathering (ERW) as a pathway for carbon removal and sustainable agriculture. My goal is to build a unified framework linking soil evolution, mineral transformation, and global environmental change.
