Dr. Ian Chang

Research areas: Atmospheric remote sensing, aerosol, cloud, atmospheric radiation, air quality, climate science, precipitation, hydrometeorology

My name is Ian Chang. I am an atmospheric scientist with research interests in atmospheric aerosol, cloud, radiation, air quality, precipitation, climate, and hydrometeorology. My current research includes (1) aerosol-cloud-radiation-precipitation interactions, (2) interrelationships between regional air quality, anthropogenic activities, and human health, and (3) flood prediction inferred from precipitation characteristics. My research integrates atmospheric remote sensing, radiative transfer modeling, and Earth system modeling.
