Research summary
AI-generated

Ruochen Jiang studies natural hazards in mountainous and cold regions, particularly landslides, glacier-related disasters, and debris flows, using field observation, remote sensing, and numerical modeling to understand how freezing/thawing, erosion, and climate change trigger cascading hazard chains such as glacial lake outburst floods and river-blocking landslides. A parallel line of work examines cement hydration chemistry and materials for construction, suggesting some involvement in geotechnical or infrastructure-related material science. This research is relevant to students interested in geohazard risk assessment, permafrost and glacier dynamics, and computational modeling of slope and sediment processes.
