Dr. Yang is currently an associate research professor
at the Water and Environmental Research Center,
Institute of Northern Engineering, University of
Alaska Fairbanks. He received his BS, MS, and Ph.D.
(water
resources and hydro-meteorology) in China and has
international research/work experience. He was a
research associate at the Lanzhou Institute of
Glaciology and Geocryology, Chinese Academy of
Sciences; a
visiting scientist at the University of California;
and a post-doc research fellow at both the
Meteorological Service of Canada and McMaster
University. He also worked as a research scientist at
the Institute for Global Change.
Dr. Yang's primary research interests are in cold
region hydrology, specifically, climate and climate
change/variation in the arctic and high latitude
regions; large arctic river hydro-climatologies
and
changes; applications of remote sensing data/products
in the high latitude regions; and data analysis
systems including accuracy assessment and
adjustment/correction, statistical analysis,
and
numerical modeling of cold region hydrology.
He has published over 50 research articles and has extensive lecture experience having given over 30 talks at national and international conferences/workshops. He is interested in talking with academic audiences, graduate students and the general public. Potential lecture topics include:
- Hydrologic response of major Siberian rivers to
climate change and
variation - Development of bias-corrected high latitude
precipitation database and
climatology - Streamflow response to seasonal snowcover extent
changes in large
Siberian watersheds - Representativeness of arctic weather station data
for computation of
snowmelt in a small area
Dr. Yang has previously participated in the Arctic Visiting Speakers' Series as a host and enjoyed his experiences.
