FENG Lujia

I am a geodesist who uses the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) as a main tool to study natural hazards. My academic journey started from volcanic deformation due to unrest in large calderas, later shifted to tectonic deformation during various stages of the earthquake cycle, and now focuses on using the atmospheric water vapor information collected by the GNSS to better understand climate hazards and climate change.
