Yi Yin is an ecologist and atmospheric scientist. Her research explores the interactions between the terrestrial biosphere, the atmosphere and anthropogenic drivers. She seeks to understand the impacts of climate change and its feedback mechanisms, with a focus on extreme events such as heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, and floods. To that end, she has developed novel numerical tools for ecological monitoring and forecasting, leveraging advances in in-situ measurements, remote sensing, data assimilation, atmospheric inversions, and land surface modeling. At the heart of her work is a commitment to providing actionable insights for equitable climate mitigation and adaptation efforts.
