**Prospective PhD students**
I am always looking for enthusiastic and professionally curious PhD students with geophysics, geology, geomatics engineering, mathematics or physics backgrounds. If you are interested in space geodesy and its geophysical and engineering applications, please contact me: Zhenhong.Li@glasgow.ac.uk
Research interests My principal research interests include the use of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Global Positioning System (GPS) for monitoring changes in the Earth’s surface for geophysical and engineering applications such as earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides and city subsidence. I specialize in development of advanced space geodesy techniques for precise deformation mapping.
- InSAR atmospheric correction models
- Advanced InSAR time series techniques
- High-rate GPS data processsing
- Earthquake: fault geometry determination with geodetic measurements
- Earthquake: slip distribution constrained by geodetic measurements
- Continental deformation
- Ground subsidence in River Deltas
- Structural deformation of dams, buildings, railways, and motorways Current research - National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO): Centre for the Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes and Tectonics (COMET), Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), United Kingdom, 2008-2012.
