At least two of his papers, "Multiple factors causing Holocene lake-level change in monsoonal and arid central Asia as identified by model experiments" and "Holocene environmental change in the marginal area of the Asian monsoon: A record from Zhuye Lake, NW China" had relatively high citation counts on Google scholar for such recent work (though not high enough to convince me of a pass of #C1.
