We are a research group led by Prof. Yi Huang in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at McGill University.
We mainly study physical climatology, with a focus on atmospheric radiation. We use satellite observations and numerical models to understand how radiative energy, in connection with other physical processes, drives weather and climate variations. We also develop methods that apply radiative measurements to atmospheric remote sensing and climate change monitoring.
We have Postdoc and PhD openings on remote sensing and climate research now! Please contact Prof. Huang by e-mail about these opportunities; send your CV and transcripts!
