Name: CUI Peng

Biography

Prof. CUI Peng, academician (member) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is a leading scientist in physical geography and water and soil conservation. He currently serves as the Co-Director General (Chinese side) of China-Pakistan Joint Research Center on Earth Sciences, Co-Director of Alliance of International Science Organizations on Disaster Risk Reduction (ANSO-DRR), Science Committee Member of IRDR of ISC/UNDRR.  He has published more than 400 papers, including 128 SCI papers, 122 EI papers, 272 CSCD papers and 37 ISTP papers. He owns 16 patents, 3 software copyrights, 7 monographs.

Prof. CUI has been long engaged in geo-hazards researches with a focus on debris flow, landslide, and dammed lake, as well as in water and soil conservation studies. He has led over 30 major national projects. He has made outstanding achievements in hazard formation and movement mechanism, fostering condition, risk assessment, monitoring and early warning. His integrated disaster risk reduction and mitigation theories and techniques have been widely adopted during the mega natural hazards treatment in China and other countries, such as earthquakes in Nepal and large dammed lake in Pakistan.
