Hanbo Yun studies permafrost (permanently frozen ground) on the Tibetan Plateau and how it is changing under climate warming, including effects on soil carbon and nitrogen, plant growth, and lake and groundwater properties in these cold regions. This work combines field measurements, remote sensing, and modeling to understand how thawing frozen soils affect ecosystems, infrastructure, and greenhouse gas dynamics. Prospective students would likely engage with topics spanning cryosphere science, soil biogeochemistry, and plant ecology in high-altitude cold environments.
