معرفی
Yi Yin is an Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at New York University, specializing in the interactions between terrestrial ecosystems, atmospheric processes, and anthropogenic impacts. Her work focuses on climate change feedback mechanisms, extreme events (heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, floods), and equitable climate adaptation strategies. She holds a Ph.D. in Ecology from Peking University (2012) and a joint Ph.D. in Geobotany from Leibniz Universität Hannover (2009), alongside a B.S. in Physical Geography from Beijing Normal University (2006).
Prior to NYU, she served as a research scientist at Caltech, and held postdoctoral roles at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and France's LSCE. Her current research explores urban heat disparities, ecosystem resilience to climate extremes, and methane mitigation strategies. She leads projects addressing environmental justice in climate adaptation, fire-driven carbon cycles, and global methane budgets.
Her publications analyze urban heatwave impacts, agricultural radiative transfer modeling, and wetland methane dynamics. She serves on NYU's Steering Committee for Foundations of Scientific Inquiry. While no formal awards are listed, her work demonstrates impactful contributions to climate science and policy-relevant research.
