Short Biography
Ziqi Yin is a PhD student at the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at CU Boulder. He is interested in ice sheet-climate interactions, numerical modeling, and exploring new methods to improve models and our understanding of ice sheets and climate.
Research Summary
Ziqi is using different tools, including the Earth System Model, causal inference, and deep learning, to study the interaction between the atmosphere and the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet, especially surface melt. The aim is to understand its driving mechanism, representation in models, and achieve better projections. Aside from his PhD projects, Ziqi has also participated in projects investigating the surface mass balance of the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
