Matthew D Wilson
Matthew (Matt) Wilson is a Professor in Spatial Information and Director of the Geospatial Research Institute Toi Hangarau at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. He is a surface water hydrologist and geographical information scientist with specialisations including flood risk, surface water dynamics, water resources, remote sensing, numerical model development, uncertainty analysis and the assessment of the potential impacts of climate change. Previous research has included the assessment of the potential impacts of climate change on flood risk and water resources in the Caribbean and the analysis of surface water hydrodynamics on a 300 km reach of the Amazon River in Brazil. In New Zealand, his current research includes leading the uncertainty theme for a national scale flood risk assessment, the creation of a digital twin for flood resilience, and the creation of algorithms for processing of novel airborne GNSS reflectometry measurements for estimation of soil water content.
Jianjun Zhang
Professor at the School of Land Science and Technology, China University of Geosciences (Beijing).
I work on land use and sustainability, ecological modeling, land economics and regional planning, low-carbon land use and ecosystem services in human disturbance zones, urban management. The focus of my current research has been expanded to green infrastructures, ecologic economics and heat island effects related with land use.
Haikun Zhao
I am a full Professor in the College of Atmospheric Science at Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology (NUIST), China. I received my Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science from NUIST in 2012. I have been working on tropical cyclones and climate change, seasonal and intra-seasonal tropical cyclone forecasts since 2007. I have published over 50 articles in peer-reviewed journals such as the Nature Communications, Journal of Climate, and Geophysical Research Letters.
