Doctoral Students
Ali Hozhabr Kiani
PhD
Supervisor: Jessica Pilarczyk
Haoyu Wang
PhD
Supervisor: Jeremy Venditti
Research Area: Landslide susceptibility and ecohazard assessment along the Fraser Canyon corridor in British Columbia, Canada. Using LiDAR-derived terrain data and machine learning techniques, particularly Random Forest models, Haoyu analyzes landslide hazards and evaluates their potential impacts on river connectivity and salmon migration within the Fraser River system.
