Background
Dr. Hongbin Yu is an Associate Research Scientist of Goddard Earth Science and Technology (GEST) Center at University of Maryland Baltimore County. After receiving his PhD and prior to joining GEST, he had worked at Georgia Institute of Technology as research scientist. He was the faculty member of the Department of Atmospheric Sciences in Nanjing University, China from 1992 to 1996.
Throughout his career, Dr. Yu has been studying the diffusion and transport of air pollutants and their environmental and climate impacts from local to regional, continental, and global scales. In most recent years, he has been conducting satellite and model integrated studies of aerosol transport and climate impacts. His publications cover topics of aerosol intercontinental transport, aerosol assimilation, aerosol direct radiative forcing, impacts of aerosols on land-atmosphere interactions/cloud/precipitation, tropospheric ozone chemistry, atmospheric dispersion modeling, and air pollution and boundary layer meteorology over complex terrain.
