Xuanmei Fan is Full professor, deputy director of the State Key Laboratory of Geohazard Prevention and Geoenvironment Protection (SKLGP), Chengdu University of Technology, China. After obtaining her PhD in Engineering Geology from the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observations (ITC), University of Twente in the Netherlands (2013), she joined SKLGP as leading professor in Geohazard Risk Assessment and Prevention. She has carried out research on earthquake-induced chains of geological hazards, including coseismic landslide and landslide dam prediction, and spatio-temporal evolution, mechanism and early warning of post-earthquake landslides and debris flows. She is the PI of many national and international projects, including a UK-China collaboration project, European and NSFC projects. Her current research interest is to understand the mechanism and develop models to predict future risk of earthquake and climate change-induced hazard chain, especially in glacier-covered regions in the Tibetan Plateau. She has published more than 130 ISI papers in Nature Geoscience, Reviews of Geophysics, GRL, JGR etc. Due to her important scientific achievements, she has been awarded with many prizes, including “The First Prize for National Science and Technology Achievements” in 2014; Richard Wolters Prize by the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG) in 2016; the Top Ten Female Geologists in China in 2017; the Outstanding Young Scholar Grant NSFC in 2021; the First Prize of Sichuan Natural Science Award in 2021; The Scientific Exploration Award in 2022.
