Jun Yang

Jun Yang is an Associate Professor with Tenure in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, School of Physics at Peking University. Their research focuses on planetary climate and habitability, utilizing idealized physical models, 3D complex numerical models, and fluid dynamics theories to study the flow characteristics of atmosphere, ocean, and ice on planets within and beyond the solar system. Their work aims to enhance understanding of climate and habitability across planetary systems. For more information, visit their profile page at http://faculty.pku.edu.cn/junyang/.

Jun Yang is a researcher at Peking University specializing in Climate Dynamics and Modelling, Exoplanets, and Paleoclimate. Their work focuses on understanding the habitable zones of tidally locked exoplanets, particularly the role of cloud feedbacks and ocean heat transport in shaping planetary climates. Yang also investigates the inner edge of the habitable zone, influenced by planetary rotation rates and atmospheric conditions. Additionally, they explore paleoclimate dynamics, including the initiation of Snowball Earth climates and the impact of paleogeography on global monsoons. Their research integrates climate models with geological data to quantify past climate conditions and their implications for Earth's history and exoplanetary habitability.
