I am currently a postdoc research fellow aI am currently a postdoc research fellow at the Department of Geosciences at the University of Arizona. I have wide interests in geomorphological and tectonic research using numerical modeling combined with field observations. It will be a great opportunity of this workshop to discuss and share my research and idea with my colleagues and potential collaborators. </br></br>In my present and previous research, I mainly worked on developing a couple of model frameworks about sediment transport and landscape evolution from the mountainous environment to coastal environment. One of my previous research is about hazard-related surface processes in subduction zone like earthquakes and tsunamis. We are trying to develop a physical process-based model framework to simulate the landscape evolution during tsunami and earthquakes. Based on tsunami deposit in the geological record, we can analyze the frequency of earthquakes or tsunamis in a given period and then reconstruct the coastal landscape evolution history. My present research is about post-fire debris flows and landslides in Southern California area. Sediment flux in the channels often increases by more than an order of magnitude after fires. Rainstorms following fires can lead to channel infilling and debris flows that cause loss of life and property. Since the post-fire debris flows significantly change the local landscape, now we are trying to account debris flow into our landscape evolution models to predict landform response to climate and tectonics. </br></br>In this workshop, I would like to present and get feedback about our coastal landscape evolution model and debris flow model. I also want to expand my ideas and ways for incorporating our debris flow and landslide model with tectonic models. It will be a great chance to discuss with tectonics modelers who are interested in integrating tectonics into surface processes model to share ideas or write a proposal together. share ideas or write a proposal together.  +
