Dr. Yulong Zhong
Visiting Scientist
Biography
Dr. Yulong Zhong joined the Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformation (IGG), Astronomical, Physical and mathematical Geodesy Group at the University of Bonn, in June 2024 as a Visiting Scholar. Before joining the University of Bonn, Dr. Zhong was an associate professor in China University of Geosciences (Wuhan). His main research interest focuses on Hydrogeodesy, including global and regional terrestrial water and groundwater storage analysis, drought and flood monitoring, and basin-scale water cycle.
