Kang Wang is a Data Scientist at the EarthScope Consortium Inc. He is broadly interested in the processes that deform the solid earth, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, earth tides, hydrological loading, etc. He uses space geodetic measurements, including GNSS and InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar), in combination with numerical models, to study the crustal dynamics associated with earthquakes and faulting.
