Biography

Prof. Xueke Li is a climate scientist. Her research spans climate variability and extremes, from mid-latitude weather extremes to polar sea-ice loss, using remote sensing, machine learning, and Earth system modeling to better understand, predict, and manage climate risks in a rapidly changing world. She received her Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Connecticut and subsequently worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate with Dr. Amanda Lynch at Brown University. Prior to joining City University of Hong Kong, she was a Research Associate with Dr. Michael Mann in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science and the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media (PCSSM) at the University of Pennsylvania. Prof. Li has authored and co-authored more than 70 peer-reviewed publications, including first-author papers in leading journals such as the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), Remote Sensing of Environment, and Journal of Cleaner Production. Her work has been extensively featured by media outlets, including The Guardian, Associated Press, and The Sunday Times. She currently serves as Associate Editor of Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Parts A/B/C, and as an Editorial Board Member of several journals, including Scientific Reports, where she also served as Guest Editor for the topical collection “Climate and Weather Extremes,” which is accepting submissions through 17 March 2027.
