Introduction:
Provide an overview of soil erosion as a natural disaster. Highlight the environmental and socio-economic impacts of soil erosion. Discuss the importance of understanding and mitigating soil erosion.
Causes of Soil Erosion:
Natural factors: rainfall, wind, topography, etc. Human-induced factors: deforestation, agriculture, construction, etc. Interaction between natural and human factors.
Types of Soil Erosion:
Water erosion: sheet erosion, rill erosion, gully erosion. Wind erosion: suspension, saltation, surface creep. Soil erosion in different geographical contexts (e.g., arid vs. humid regions).
Methods of Monitoring and Measurement:
Remote sensing techniques for monitoring soil erosion. Field-based methods for assessing erosion rates. Importance of accurate data for effective mitigation strategies.
Environmental Consequences:
Impact on soil fertility and agricultural productivity. Sedimentation of water bodies and water quality degradation. Loss of biodiversity and habitat degradation.
Social and Economic Impacts:
Effects on local communities and livelihoods. Increased vulnerability to other natural disasters (e.g., floods, landslides). Economic costs associated with soil erosion.
Mitigation and Control Strategies:
Sustainable land management practices. Afforestation and reforestation. Engineering solutions (e.g., terracing, check dams). Government policies and regulations.
Case Studies:
Highlight specific regions or areas affected by severe soil erosion. Discuss successful mitigation efforts and lessons learned.
Future Challenges and Research Needs:
Anticipate future trends in soil erosion. Identify gaps in current understanding. Propose avenues for further research and technological development.
Conclusion:
Summarize key findings. Emphasize the importance of ongoing research and effective soil erosion management.
Areas of Specialization:
Multi-source remote sensing, Freeze-thaw induced landslides on grasslands, Soil and water conservation and climate change, Soil erosion processes and mechanisms.
Patents:
she holds a Chinese patent titled “Back-channel fishway with pipe-type fish passage after the dam” (ZL201720940484.7).
