Yang’s interdisciplinary research is focused on molecular investigations of modern and ancient organisms, high-resolution paleoclimate records, and environmental history, involving a range of approaches from fieldwork on extraordinary fossils to laboratory experiments on stable isotope geochemical studies. Hong Yang applies an interdisciplinary dataset of geological and historical record to foster better understanding of dynamic causes, behaviors, and consequences of near-future climate change, including the likely hydrological and biological consequences under projected high atmospheric CO2 conditions. He is also interested in communicating his findings to support science-informed policymaking and develop a cross-cultural, interdisciplinary experiential learning program to facilitate broader public understanding and societal responses to mitigate the threat of climate change. Yang holds a doctorate in geological sciences from University of Idaho and received his postdoctoral training at Wayne State University and the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
