Ph.D., Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia 1992
Field of Study:
Atmospheric
Science: Climatology, Hydroclimatology, Hydrometeorology
Short Biography:
Dr. Yang teaches undergraduate
courses in climate change and graduate courses in global
physical climatology and hydroclimatology. He has also
taught introductory geological courses
(Earth, Wind & Fire
and Living with a Planet).
Dr. Yang's
primary research interest is to understand the exchanges of
momentum, radiation, heat, water, carbon dioxide, and other
materials between the atmosphere and the Earth surface
spanning from small (short) to very large (long) scales.
This includes analysis of in-situ and remotely-sensed data
for the Earth's surface, and modeling studies of weather,
climate and hydrology at local, regional and global scales.
His publications include more than 60 peer-reviewed
articles, in addition to numerous conference proceedings
papers, research reports and presentations abstracts. Dr.
Yang is the Principal Investigator of federal projects
funded by EPA, NASA and NOAA. Dr. Yang's
general research interests include: Global Change; Climate Modeling;
Land-Surface Modeling; Snow Hydrology; Runoff; North
American Monsoon; Tropical Deforestation; Interaction of
Terrestrial and Atmospheric Hydrological Processes; Flood
and Drought; Remote Sensing; Biogenic VOC Emissions and Air
Quality.
