主要研究方向为海洋有机地球化学，侧重利用生物标志物对有机物自源到汇的迁移过程的追踪。曾任海洋生物圈整合研究IMBeR科学指导委员会委员，现为国际海洋研究科学委员会第161工作组（SCOR WG161）成员。积极推进中国及亚洲区域的海洋生物地球化学研究的国际合作，并拓展到热带海洋及其河流近海体系（例如印度西边界、巴基斯坦近海、泰国湾及马来西亚和坦桑尼亚河流体系）等。主持重大研发及973计划课题、科技部国际合作项目、国家自然科学重点基金及面上基金、教育部新世纪优秀人才计划等国家和省部级项目。发表国内外期刊论文200余篇，他人引用次数4000余次。
目前在研项目有：
国家自然科学基金重点项目：热带东印度洋中上层水体的海洋碳储势变化及其机制分析
国家重点研发计划“第四纪典型暖期北极气候变化及其对东亚环境的影响”课题：北极第四纪典型暖期碳循环研究
上海科委国际合作项目：近海沉积物低碳储效应的关键影响机制：长江口与泰国内湾为例
