Profile
Ren Lab
Ren Wang is an associate professor at the School of Atsmopsheric Science. Motivated by the coupling between the terrestrial water cycle and the climate system under global changes, he focuses on the mechanisms of land-atmosphere interactions and the elolution of hydroclimatic extremes. His work leverages big data (observations and simulations), remote sensing, machine learning, and Earth system modeling to investigate:
-- Climate-hydrology-biosphere interactions
-- Surface evapotranspiration and energy balance
-- Evolution, driving mechnisms, and impacts of extreme events (e.g., droughts, heatwave).
Dr. Wang received his Ph.D. from Sun Yat-sen University, M.S. in Physical Geography from Fujian Normal University, and B.S. in Geographical Information Science from Jiangxi Normal University. He conducted joint Ph.D. training at Columbia University, supervised by Dr. Pierre Gentine. Prior to joining NUIST, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the School of Geography, Nanjing Normal University.
Research Fields:
Land-Atmosphere Interactions, Hydroclimatology, Global Change, Extreme Climate, Drought, Remote Sensing
