The personal data
ResumeZhenhong Li is Professor of Imaging Geodesy and College Dean at Chang’an University, China, and Guest Professor at Newcastle University, UK. He has over 24 years of research experience in geodesy and remote sensing for geohazards (e.g. earthquakes and landslides) and infrastructure instability. He specializes in development of InSAR atmospheric corrections and time-series algorithms for precisely mapping surface movements and has investigated a series of large earthquakes (e.g. Sumatra (Indonesia, 2007), Wenchuan (China, 2008), Yushu (China, 2010), Van (Turkey, 2011), Tohoku (Japan, 2011), Gorkha (Nepal, 2015), Kaikōura earthquake (New Zealand, 2016), Oaxaca (Mexico, 2020), and Maduo (China, 2021)) and active landslides (e.g. Huangtupo, Shuping, Daguangbao, Xinmo and Baige landslides, China; Villa de la Independencia landslide, Bolivia). Social position- Elected Fellow of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), 2015 - Elected Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS), 2014 - Elected Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013 - Elected Fellow of the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society (RSPSoc), 2010 - Member of UK COSPAR National Committee, 2018 - present - Co-Chair of the International Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) WG III/2 Microwave Remote Sensing. 2016-2021 ResearchProfessor Li’s research interests include Space Geodesy and Remote Sensing (mainly InSAR and GNSS) and their application to geohazards (e.g. earthquakes, landslides and land subsidence) and precision agriculture. - InSAR atmospheric correction - Advanced InSAR time series - High-rate GNSS data processsing - Remote Sensing - Continental deformation - Active faults and earthquakes - Landslide detection, monitoring and early warning - Ground subsidence in river deltas - Structural deformation of dams, buildings, railways, and motorways - Atmospheric water vapour - Environmental changes (e.g. Lake water level change, coastal erosion, flood mapping and aerosol monitoring)
