Long Yang

Long Yang studies extreme floods, rainfall, and river discharge, focusing on how climate change and urbanization affect flood risk in regions such as China's North China Plain, the Yangtze River, and the Tibetan Plateau/Himalaya. Much of the work combines hydrological modeling, statistical analysis of flood and precipitation records, and machine learning to project future flood exposure and understand the drivers of extreme storms. The publication list also includes some unrelated items (e.g., on satellite positioning, media studies, and tourism) that appear to be from other authors sharing the same name rather than this environmental science research program.

Publication output has grown over the last decade, rising from single digits in 2017-2018 to a peak of about 20 papers in 2024, with a 5-year average of roughly 14 papers per year.
