Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jing Fan the research focuses on advancing understanding of geological and hydrological disaster mechanisms with particular emphasis on rock fracture behavior, structural evolution, and fluid migration in complex subsurface environments. Central themes include the analysis of structural plane connectivity in landslide-prone rock masses and the development of models to predict multi-factor disaster-pregnancy mechanisms in tectonically active regions such as the Jinsha River Basin. By integrating field investigations, laboratory experiments, and numerical simulations, the studies aim to reveal how geological structures influence water conduction, stability, and energy transfer within fractured rock systems. Recent work explores the coupling effects between mechanical stress, fluid flow, and seismic responses to improve risk assessment and early warning for geological disasters. A key contribution includes the development of a double-layered seismo-electric method for characterizing groundwater seepage fields in high-level waste disposal sites, offering a novel approach to detect and evaluate subsurface hydrogeological conditions. The research collectively contributes to disaster prevention, sustainable resource management, and environmental safety by providing quantitative frameworks and innovative methodologies to understand, model, and mitigate risks associated with complex geological processes.
