Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Erosion
  • Geotechnical engineering

Qiang Xu spends much of his time researching Landslide, Geotechnical engineering, Seismology, Debris and Geomorphology. His Landslide study frequently links to related topics such as Natural hazard. His Geotechnical engineering study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Shear, Shear stress, Loess and Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics.

His Seismology study incorporates themes from Magnitude and Aerial photography. His Debris research incorporates elements of Continental collision and China. His Epicenter research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Slip, Fault scarp and Mass wasting.

His most cited work include:

  • Distribution pattern of earthquake-induced landslides triggered by the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake (336 citations)
  • Spatial distribution analysis of landslides triggered by 2008.5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake, China (203 citations)
  • Landslide dams triggered by the Wenchuan Earthquake, Sichuan Province, south west China (139 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Landslide, Geotechnical engineering, Seismology, Debris and Geomorphology. Qiang Xu is interested in Landslide classification, which is a field of Landslide. His research integrates issues of Flow and Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics in his study of Geotechnical engineering.

Qiang Xu interconnects Magnitude, Earthquake shaking table and Lithology in the investigation of issues within Seismology. His work in the fields of Debris, such as Debris flow, overlaps with other areas such as Plateau. The Geomorphology study combines topics in areas such as Slope stability, Fault and Groundwater.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Landslide (66.94%)
  • Geotechnical engineering (35.12%)
  • Seismology (17.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Landslide (66.94%)
  • Debris (16.94%)
  • Loess (9.50%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Landslide, Debris, Loess, Remote sensing and Physical geography. His studies deal with areas such as Mining engineering, Displacement, Geodesy, Failure mechanism and Forensic engineering as well as Landslide. His Debris study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Seismology, Rockslide and Grain size.

His Seismology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Leading edge and Magnitude. His study in Loess is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Soil science, Terrace and Rill, Erosion, Surface runoff. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Geotechnical engineering and Extreme learning machine.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Decadal vegetation succession from MODIS reveals the spatio-temporal evolution of post-seismic landsliding after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake (21 citations)
  • The formation and impact of landslide dams – State of the art (14 citations)
  • Prediction of a multi-hazard chain by an integrated numerical simulation approach : the Baige landslide, Jinsha River, China (13 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Erosion
  • Statistics
  • Composite material

His primary scientific interests are in Landslide, Forensic engineering, Loess, Debris and Hazard. His research in Landslide intersects with topics in Displacement, Geodesy, Hazard, Fault scarp and Remote sensing. His study looks at the intersection of Fault scarp and topics like Inclinometer with Mining engineering and Natural hazard.

His studies in Forensic engineering integrate themes in fields like Spaceborne radar, Empirical modelling, Satellite radar and Earth observation. Qiang Xu combines subjects such as Slope failure and Terrace with his study of Loess. His study in the field of Debris flow also crosses realms of Doppler effect.
