Cong Yin

Postdoc Scientist

I am an early-career climate scientist pushing the boundaries of understanding wildfires and climate extremes using hydroclimatic, data-driven, and geostatistical approaches. My work has led to step-changes in understanding the synchronicity and persistence of extreme fire weather, factors that strongly influence extreme fire activity.

I work with Prof. John Abatzoglou, who leads the Climatology Lab at University of California, Merced.
