Research Interests
I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Peking University, Beijing, China. I am visiting CIRES with the support from its Visiting Fellowship. I use Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and optical remote sensing images to map ground deformation / land cover changes relating to natural hazards, e.g., landslides, sinking inland and coastal cities, permafrost degradation, floods and inundation. I am also engaged in investigating their triggering mechanisms using statistical and physical approaches as well as AI and its inference methods.
Current Research
Landslides on the Earth and the Mars
Coastal subsidence and inundation amid climate change
Permafrost deformation and degradation
Catchment-scale floods
Let me know if you'd like to discuss about these topics or other climate-driven hazards :-)

2025 -Disentangling Environmental Forcing in Mass Wasting Processes from Multi-Source Geodetic Approaches
The main objective of this project is to use multi-source geodetic approaches to quantitatively define the role and interplay of environmental forcing (e.g., tectonics, water, and wind) during the mass wasting processes.Sponsors
