INTRODUCTION
Dr. Ye started teaching at CSULA since 2001. She had taught Emporia State University and University of Idaho before her tenure in CSULA. Dr. Ye won President's Outstanding Faculty Award in 2012 and Russell J Mather's Paper of the Year award in 2010. She has published 41 peer-reviewed publications in major national and international journals in the area of climatology and hydroclimatology and more than a dozen of articles in conference proceedings and other sources. Dr. Ye has won several research awards from NSF, NOAA, and Geological Survey.
TEACHING INTERESTS
Dr. Ye teaches Geog160 physical geography, Geog170/171 Meteorology, ES101 Earth Science for Elementary Teachers, Geog309 Urban Environmental Pollution, Geog310 Urban Climatology, Geog403 Environmenta and Food Customs, Geog410 Applied Climatollgy, Gfeog415 Perspectives on Environment, and seminar courses in various topics including Global Climate Change, Research Methods in Physical Geography, Impacts of Climate Change, Climate Change and Human Health.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Dr. Ye's research has been on climate change and variability. Her research mostly has focused on the characteristics of precipitation, snow, river discharges, atmospheric water vapor and their teleconnections with sea surface temperatures and atmospheric water vapor and atmospheric circulation patterns. Her geographical areas of interests have covered high latitude land areas including Northern Eurasia, Arctic, Antarctic, and extra-tropical areas. Dr. Ye has collaborations with experts in atmospheric science and hydrology from University of Alaska, University of Massachusetts, Rutgers University, University of Toronto, University of Miami, University of Oklahoma, University of Idaho, National Snow and Ice Data Center, Environmental Canada, Atmospheric and Environmental Research, and Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
