landslide detection, monitoring, and mechanism analysis.
He has published five peer-reviewed articles in international
journals such as Landslides, Geophysical Research Letters, and
Remote Sensing.
Jianbing Peng (dicexy_1@chd.edu.cn) received his B.Sc.
degree in geology from China University of Geosciences,
Wuhan, China, in 1978 and his Ph.D. degree in engineering geology from Chang'an University, Xi'an, China, in 1999.
He is a professor of engineering geology with the College of
Geological Engineering and Geomatics at Chang'an University. He has more than 40 years of research experience in engineering geology and geohazards (e.g., landslides, ground
fissures, and land subsidence). He is the principal investigator of a grant from the National Basic Research Program of
China, a grant from the Major Program of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), and two grants of
the Key Programs of the NSFC. He is an academician of the
Chinese of Academy of Sciences and president of the Engineering Geology Committee of China.
Qin Zhang (zhangqinle@263.net.cn) received her
B.Eng. degree in engineering survey and her M.Eng. degree
in geodesy in 1982 and 1984, respectively, both from the
Wuhan Technical University of Surveying and Mapping
(now Wuhan University), China, and her Ph.D. degree in
geodesy and engineering survey from Wuhan University in
2002. She is a professor of geodesy and survey engineering
with Chang'an University, Xi'an, China. Her research interests include advanced geodesy (including global navigation
satellite system technology and interferometric synthetic
aperture radar) and geohazard detection and monitoring.
She is the principal investigator for a grant of the Key Program of the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
Zheng Wang (z.wang66@newcastle.ac.uk) received
his B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees in photogrammetry and
remote sensing from Wuhan University, China, in 2012
and 2015, respectively, and his Ph.D. degree in geomatics
from Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, United
Kingdom, in 2019. He is currently a data scientist in the
R&D department of 3vGeomatics Inc., Vancouver, Canada. He has extensive experience in processing different
remote sensing imagery acquired by optical and microwave sensors from terrestrial, airborne, and spaceborne
platforms. He gained interferometric synthetic aperture
radar (InSAR) expertise from the sole development of a
complete radar interferometry software package for continuous and discontinuous ground-based SAR deformation monitoring and early warning. His current research
interests include wide-area spaceborne InSAR and realtime ground-based InSAR.
Tengteng Qu (tengteng.qu@pku.edu.cn) received her
B.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Tongji University, China, in
2011 and 2017, respectively. Since 2018, she has worked as a
postdoctoral researcher with the College of Engineering, Peking University, China and as a research associate with the
Peking University Collaborative Innovation Center for Geospatial Big Data. Her research interests focus on synthetic

aperture radar remote sensing, landslide and permafrost
monitoring, and discrete global grid systems. She serves
as a standards expert with the IEEE Standards Association,
Open Geospatial Consortium, and International Organization for Standardization. She is a Member of the IEEE.
Chaoyang He (hpdtz@qq.com) received his B.Sc. degree in geological engineering from the Chengdu University of Technology, China, in 2009 and his M. Eng. degree
from the Chengdu University of Technology in 2012. He
is now a lecturer with the State Key Laboratory of Geohazard Prevention and Geoenvironment Protection, Chengdu
University of Technology. His research interests focus on
geohazard real-time monitoring and early warning. Based
on the early warning method of the deformation process,
he developed a set of real-time monitoring and early warning systems for geohazards and successfully released early
warnings for several landslides, including the Heifangtai
landslide in the Gansu Province and the Xingyi landslide
in the Guizhou Province, China.
Deren Li received his Ph.D. degree in photogrammetry
from the University of Stuttgart, Germany, in 1986. He is
currently a professor and chair of the Academic Com-mittee
of the State Key Laboratory for Information Engineering in
Surveying, Mapping, and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, China. He was elected an academician of the Chinese
Academy of Sciences in 1991, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the Euro-Asia Academy of Sciences in 1995.
He was the founding president of the Asia Geographic Information System Association from 2003 to 2006. He was
president of the Chinese Society of Geodesy, Photogrammetry, and Cartography and the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Commissions III and VI.
He is also vice president of the China Society of Image and
Graphics, a chief scientist of the Optics Valley of China, and
cochair of the Committee on Earth Observation and Satellites and Integrated Global Observing Strategy Partnership.
Jingnan Liu (jnliu@whu.edu.cn) received his B.Eng.
degree in astronomical geodesy and his M.Eng. degree in
geodesy in 1967 and 1982, respectively, both from Wuhan
Technical University of Surveying and Mapping, China
(now Wuhan University). He is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, former president of Wuhan
University, the first chancellor of Duke Kunshan University, and director of the National Engineering Research Center for Satellite Positioning System. He has been engaged in
the research of geodetic theories and applications, including national coordinate system establishment, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technology, and software
development as well as large project implementation. As an
academic authority in the GNSS field, he has been awarded
more than 10 national or provincial prizes for progress in
science and technology.
