Brief Introduction

Linlin and her research team investigate the formation mechanism and characteristics of the submarine disaster chain: earthquake-landslide-tsunami using a multi-disciplinary approach including structural geology, geophysics and computational fluid mechanics. The current research work includes: 1) Quantitative analysis of key factors affecting the tsunamigenic potential of submarine earthquakes; 2) Chain effects of active fault earthquakes, landslides and tsunamis in the northern part of the South China Sea; 3) Hazard assessment of typical submarine landslides in the South China Sea; 4) Application of the GNSS-IR technology in monitoring extreme sea level changes; 5) Comparative study of hydrodynamic characteristics of extreme sea level events (ESLEs) along the coast of South China.
