Dr. Jing Liu, or Jing Liu-Zeng in publications, is an endowed Peiyang Professor at the School of Earth System Science, Tianjin University. She received her PhD in Geology from the California Institute of Technology in 2003, following her graduation from Nanjing University in 1991. After a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, she held research professor positions at the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences (2005-2011), and the Institute of Geology, China Earthquake Administration (2011-2019) prior to joining Tianjin University. Her research centers on active tectonics and tectonic geomorphology, with particular emphasis on paleoseismology, earthquake mechanics, seismic risk, and cascading hazards—including liquefaction, landslides, and floods. Her work highlights the intricate coupling between deep-seated Earth processes and surface dynamics.
