Simon Wang

Biography

 Shih-Yu (Simon) Wang's current research about the Colorado River focuses on understanding the role of climate variability on water supply fluctuations, including the changes in surface water, snowpack, and groundwater. Simon's hydroclimate research emphasizes the seasonal and decadal timescales by looking at the sudden change within a month, such as the so-called Miracle Spring that alternates climate anomalies from drought to normal status within the snowmelt season, as well as the oscillatory behavior of precipitation and streamflow that can slowly change every few years.
