He has published over 160 journal or conference papers and 17 Patents, and has received approximately 10 awards, including the science and technology invention award or the science and technology progress award from Chongqing City, the Ministry of Education, and the Rock Mechanics and Engineering Society of China.

### **Weile Li**

Professor Weile Li was born in Anqing, Anhui Province, China, in 1982. He received his B.S. degree in surveying and mapping engineering, his M.S. degree in GIS and RS, and his Ph.D. degree in engineering geology from Chengdu University of Technology, China, in 2005, 2008, and 2019, respectively. From 2008 to 2014, he was a Research Assistant with the State Key Laboratory of Geohazard Prevention and Geoenvironment Protection (SKLGP), Chengdu University of Technology. From 2015 to 2019, he has been an assistant professor with the SKLGP. Since 2021, he has been a full professor with the SKLGP. His research interests include landslide detection, monitoring and risk assessment, and earthquake-induced landslide rapid mapping and prediction. He is the author of 9 books and more than 150 papers on the detection and monitoring of landslides.

### **Chong Xu**

Professor Chong Xu is the Director of the Committee on Earthquake Hazard Chain, Seismological Society of China, the Director of the Key Laboratory of Compound and Chained Natural Hazards Dynamics, Ministry of Emergency Management of China, the Director of the Geological Hazards Research Center, National Institute of Natural Hazards, and Research Professor in National Institute of Natural Hazards, Ministry of Emergency Management of China. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2010. His research interests include earthquake-triggered landslides, rainfall-induced landslides, and geological hazards using GIS, remote sensing, and statistical analysis techniques. By virtue of the study of earthquake-triggered landslides over 10 years, he has obtained a series of scientific research achievements of this subject, including database construction and the criteria of earthquake-triggered landslides, a quantitative description of landslide distribution, addressing issues of earthquake geology, landslide volume modeling, and hazard assessment. He has published over 300 papers with over 11000 citations and an h-index of 55 from Google Scholar. He was selected for inclusion in Elsevier's "China's highly cited scholars" from 2020 to present day. His research achievements, mainly on landslides triggered by recent large earthquakes, have been extended to about 50 research institutes and universities worldwide and have been adopted directly by more than 100 research teams.

### **Hiromu Daimaru**

Professor Hiromu Daimaru received his Ph.D. from Shinshu University. Now, he is a full professor at the Laboratory of Watershed Environmental Studies at Ishikawa Prefectural University. After studying natural geography at Hokkaido University, he conducted studies on mountain geoecology and the disaster science of mountain areas at the FFPRI (Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute) from 1989 to 2021. Prof. Daimaru's major research interests cover the geoecology of mountainous areas, landslide geomorphology, and the visualization and classification of topographic information using spatial information technology.
