Yongsong Huang is a Chinese-American organic geochemist, biogeochemist and astrobiologist, and is a professor of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at Brown University.[1] He researches the development of lipid biomarkers and their isotopic ratios as quantitative proxies for paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental studies and subsequent application of these proxies to study mechanisms controlling climate change and environmental response to climate change at a variety of time scales.
Huang received a B.Sc. in geochemistry from University of Science and Technology of China in 1984,[2] then received a M.S. in Analytical Chemistry from Sichuan University.[2] He earned his first Ph.D. in petroleum geochemistry from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1990,[2] and earned a second Ph.D. in organic geochemistry from the University of Bristol in 1997, as a student of Geoffrey Eglinton.[2]
