Education 

Dazhi Yang is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Physical Geography at the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, under Professor Xiubin Li. His dissertation explores the multi-dimensional impacts of farmland withdrawal and reutilization trade-offs in China. He completed his M.Sc. (2020–2023) from the same institute, where his thesis investigated the spatio-temporal patterns of abandoned farmland and their implications for the grain-water nexus. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Resources Environment and Urban-Rural Planning Management from Chongqing Jiaotong University (2012–2016). His academic training emphasizes spatial analysis, environmental modeling, and land management strategies.

Professional Experience
