Dr. Fawu Wang is chairholder of UNESCO Chair on Geoenvironmental Disaster Reduction, and professor on geo-disaster reduction in College of Civil Engineering, Tongji University, China. He has been working on challenging problems in landslides, such as the mechanism of rapid and long runout landslides, the transformation mechanism from
landsliding to flow-sliding, motion prediction of landslides, motion behavior of submarine landslides, and landslides triggered by earthquakes, heavy rainfall, and water impoundment. His primary research interests are to clarify the common mechanisms of landslides initiated by different triggers, and to find a way to predict the occurrence and motion of landslides, for the purpose of landslide disaster mitigation. Besides the teaching and research activities, he is also working as the Director-General of the International Consortium on Geo-disaster Reduction.
