ššResearch Focus:
Dr. Qiang Zou specializes in the risk assessment of mountain hazards, including debris flows and landslides. His research integrates physical geography and geographic information science to evaluate debris flow risks across multiple scales: global, regional, local, and infrastructure-oriented. His work introduces dynamic-process-based approaches to hazard assessment and has developed new methods for assessing the vulnerability of mountain highways to debris flows in China.
šPublications:
Dr. Zou has authored over 80 scientific publications, including articles in international journals and conference proceedings. He has also co-edited the Atlas of Silk Road Disaster Risk and the report Glance at the Silk Road Disaster Risk (2021).
Key Projects:
Spatial Differentiation Rule and Dynamic Risk of Debris Flow in Western Sichuan Under Climate Change. Vulnerability Assessment of Mountain Hazards in Large Gradient Environments. Distribution Law of Landslide and Debris Flow Disasters in Economic Corridors of the Silk Road
