Yang Song
Hydrodynamic Modeler
Dr. Yang Song is a hydrodynamic modeler working with Dr. Ayumi Fujisaki-Manome and the climate modeling team at NOAA GLERL to advance the understanding of oil spill processes in the Great Lakes. Before joining CIGLR, he focused on using numerical tools to address algal bloom and water quality problems in reservoirs and rivers. He also did a modeling study for Karlodinium blooms in the Chesapeake Bay during his visit at University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES). For journal services, Dr. Song is a reviewer for Science of the Total Environment, Ecological Modeling, and the Journal of Hydrology, etc.
