Beyond the science, Xian also shares the challenges of navigating life as an early career scientist, balancing ambitious research with uncertainty around funding and job security.

Biogeosciences Early Career Committee @biogeosciences-ecc.bsky.social · Sep 2

Xian’s work shows that no-till could offset up to 24 teragrams of CO₂ equivalent annually across the U.S. Corn Belt — a powerful reminder that agriculture can play a key role in climate solutions.

Meet Xian Wang our AGU B-section early career scientist of the week! A postdoc at Indiana University whose research uncovers a new climate benefit of no-till farming: its ability to increase surface albedo, reflecting more sunlight and reducing absorbed solar energy.
