PhD student Weibing Gong completed his doctoral thesis in August and has already joined the Faculty of the Geosciences, Geological and Petroleum Engineering Department at Missouri Science and Technology as an Assistant Professor. Weibing's thesis was on "A Numerical Model for Regional-Scale Back-Calculation and Prediction of Earthquake-Induced Landslides" under the supervision of Professor Dimitrios Zekkos and Prof. Marin Clark from the University of Michigan. 

This month, two journal papers on landslide inversion and landslide prediction were published in the Engineering Geology Journal:

"A pseudo-3D methodology for regional-scale back-analysis of earthquake-induced landslides" by Gong, Zekkos and Clark:

"The influence of seismic displacement models on spatial prediction of regional earthquake-induced landslides" by Gong, Zekkos and Clark:
