Research axes
Four connected axes — Big Data in Earth Systems is the foundation the other three build on.
My work sits at the nexus of big Earth data, AI and geophysics. I build computational pipelines and physics-informed models that turn satellite, geophysical and field data into insight — to anticipate natural hazards, find water and mineral resources, and make forecasts trustworthy.
2Deep-learning frameworksResearch axis 01
Big Data in Earth Systems
- Problem
- Satellites, geophysical surveys and sensor networks produce far more data than traditional geoscience workflows can turn into insight.
- Approach
- Computational geoscience pipelines and physics-informed, explainable deep learning (GeoPriorSubsNet, XTFT) that scale from raw data to decisions.
R² > 0.90Subsidence model accuracyResearch axis 02
Natural Hazards
- Problem
- Land subsidence, contamination from failing landfills and wildfires threaten cities, water and ecosystems — often faster than monitoring can follow.
- Approach
- Physics-guided subsidence forecasting, AI detection of leachate from geophysical data, and early warning for wildfire risk.

Groundwater & Mineral Exploration
- Problem
- Finding water and mineral resources where data are scarce remains costly and uncertain.
- Approach
- AI-assisted EM, CSAMT and resistivity methods, supported by open-source tools like pyCSAMT and watex.

Uncertainty & Trustworthy Forecasting
- Problem
- Making reliable decisions requires a trustworthy understanding of forecast uncertainty.
- Approach
- Developing novel polar diagnostics (k-diagram) to analyze forecast coverage, reliability, and severity.
How the research fits together
Field measurements feed physics-guided models, diagnostics make them trustworthy, and the results become decisions and open tools.
- 01
Observe
Electromagnetic (AMT/CSAMT), resistivity (ERT), InSAR and borehole data from the field.
- 04
Decide
Drilling sites that find water, and subsidence risk maps planners can act on.
