Huanping Huang
Assistant Professor
Education
Ph.D., Earth Sciences, Dartmouth College, 2019
M.S., Meteorology, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2013
B.S., Geographical Information System, China Agricultural University, 2010
Research Interests
Dr. Huang is interested in weather & climate extremes, such as extreme precipitation, tropical cyclones, and atmospheric rivers. He uses weather observations and climate models to understand the effects of climate variability and anthropogenic climate change on extreme events, and the physical processes through which they are linked. He is also interested in assessing climate change impacts on agriculture and natural resources. Please refer to his group website for more details.
