Yi-Ying Chen (male), Assistant Research Fellow of RCEC, Academia Sinica, Taiwan

Both in-situ observation and numerical modeling in the field of environmental science are Yi-Ying's research interests. His research activity focused on the topic of land-atmospheric interactions, and with a specific focus on large-scale climate responses through land-based environmental changes such as land use/cover changes, typhoon/storm/drought/fire disturbances, and forest management. He has been working on developing a windthrow module in the land surface model and scripts for analyzing the simulation results, since he joined the climate research group at RCEC, AS in Taiwan. Research topics such as evaluating the dynamics of forest ecosystem services to environmental disturbances and climate warming were studied and addressed by factorial experiments with a novel model development. He also compiled land use/cover data for studying the carbon budget at a Regional (subnational)/global scale.

Yi-Ying received his Ph.D. in  Hydrological and Oceanic Sciences from National Central University, and his Bachelor in Hydraulic Engineering from Feng-Chia University, Taiwan.
