Dr. Zhiyong Liu is a full professor of hydrology at the Center for Water Resources and Environment, Sun Yat-sen University, China. He got his Ph.D. in Hydrology and Climatology from Heidelberg University (Germany) in 2016. Before working at SYSU in 2017, Dr. Liu did postdoctoral research at the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), NOAA in College Park, Maryland. His research now focuses on extreme climate dynamics associated with hydrological and underlying responses (say, vegetation, urban, etc).  Serving as the associate editors for both Journal of Hydrology and Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies.

 

 

主要对以下三个问题/内容进行探讨与实践：

1) 流域水循环系统、海陆交互水网系统稳定性基础理论及指示方法探索（自然-人为条件干扰下水循环过程的抗逆-恢复-突变-补偿特性）

2) 水旱及复合极端气候灾害致灾-传递机制、及其与流域下垫面（植被、城市、生态系统）的作用与反馈机制

3) 水利信息监测设备和城市水文-水动力软件、数字孪生流域系统等应用技术研发(与华为人工智能研究团队等机构合作建立HydroAi团队，开展人工智能+物理水文模型城市内涝模拟预报，并提供优秀研究生去华为总部实习机会）

 

招生方向：水利工程博士、硕士；土木水利博士、硕士
