International Academic Dialogues to Promote Exchanges and Mutual Learning on Civilization
[Sino-foreign Humanities and Academic Exchange Series (2)]
iRALL School 2022 Online International Doctoral Program
Introduction
The second program of Chengdu University of Technology's 2022 Sino-foreign humanities and academic exchange series is the 7th iRALL School 2022 online international doctoral course organized by the State Key Laboratory of Geohazard Prevention and Geoenvironment Protection. It offers basic courses, cutting-edge technology and software training. It will be held online from October 18 to 21, 2022. Please stay tuned!
I. Program Background
The International Research Association on Large Landslides (iRALL) was established on November 11, 2015. As an international non-governmental, non-political and non-profit independent organization, its scientific committee is made up of internationally well-known experts in the field of large landslides from 21 countries.
Since 2016, the laboratory has successfully held six sessions of the international doctoral course named iRALL School, where it carefully built an international brand with cutting-edge resources and high sincerity, which helped promote world engineering geological research and respond to global disaster prevention and control. Relying on iRALL School's cross-cultural, cross-field and cross-time and space communication platform, a total of 131 doctoral students from more than 20 countries came to Sichuan for training and academic visits, and it attracted 5,097 scholars online participation.
II. Program Introduction
The topics of iRALL School 2022 cover the identification of hidden dangers of landslide, the mechanism of earthquake-induced landslides, the hydrological control of rainfall-induced landslides, the mechanism of large debris flows, glacial geological hazards, and the application of remote sensing and numerical simulation technologies in landslide hazards.
iRALL School 2022 invited 23 internationally renowned experts from 11 countries to give lectures. Experts include Prof. Nicola Casagli, President of the International Consortium on Landslides, Prof. Kyoji Sassa, Secretary-General of the International Consortium on Landslides, Prof. J. David Rogers, President of Karl F. Hasselmann Chair in Geological Engineering in the United States, Stephen G. Evans, tenured professor of the University of Waterloo in Canada, Prof. Oliver Korup of the University of Potsdam in Germany, Prof. Zhang Limin of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Prof. Ranjan Kumar Dahal, Vice President of the Asia Region of the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG), Prof. He Ping of the School of History & Culture, Sichuan University, et al.
