Lisan Yu

Lisan Yu is an oceanographer, and a senior scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. She serves on the Earth Science Advisory Committee (ESAC), a new Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) committee of NASA.[1]

In 2020, Yu was one of the researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution who received a $500,000 grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Climate Observations and Monitoring program to develop a machine learning framework to improve estimates of air-sea heat exchange in the Arctic Ocean.[2] Yu's research involves analysing data collected by a Saildrone fleet from a 2019 Arctic mission.[3]

Yu has authored over 100 academic publications, which have been cited over 7,800 times, resulting in an h-index and i10-index of 37 and 65 respectively.[4] Yu was one of 1,371 peer-reviewers for the JGR-Oceans journal during 2021.[5]
