Dr. Xiao Yang | Soil Science | Research Excellence Award

Shandong University | China

Dr. Xiao Yang is a distinguished researcher at the Institute of Marine Science and Technology, Shandong University, with a focus on geological hazards, urban underground space, land subsidence, and water resource management. He earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Shandong University under the supervision of Prof. Chao Jia, where he developed expertise in laboratory and in-situ geotechnical characterization. Dr. Yang has led several funded research projects, including studies on ecological restoration of the Yellow River Basin, three-dimensional fluid–solid coupling models for land subsidence, pollutant transport in landfill sites, evaluation of ancient river channels, and groundwater-induced environmental issues in the Weibei Plain. His research integrates multi-source data, GIS, numerical modeling, and field investigations to assess environmental risks and develop sustainable management strategies for groundwater and urban ecosystems. Dr. Yang has authored numerous publications in high-impact journals such as the Journal of Environmental Management, Journal of Hydrology, and KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, addressing topics like groundwater pollution, runoff dynamics, ecological vulnerability, and climate change impacts on hydrological systems. Recognized with awards including the Outstanding Graduate Leader Scholarship, May Fourth Youth Science Award, and provincial-level honors, Dr. Yang continues to contribute to environmental science and engineering. His work advances sustainable management of geological and water resources while promoting ecological restoration in vulnerable regions.
