Data Fusion, data assimilation and hydraulic tomography of soil water and groundwater: he uses data fusion algorithm for mine data value, identify model uncertainty factors and soil spatial structure and improve model prediction accuracy and reliability. Finally, it is applied to the prediction and management of groundwater over-exploitation in North China, agricultural non-point source pollution in the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River, groundwater remediation at Tucson Airport, and thermal remediation of organic contaminated sites in China. 3. Precision agriculture: using new observation means such as satellites, unmanned aerial remote sensing and Internet of Things (IoT) soil water-heat-salt sensors, combined with crop mechanism models and machine learning and deep learning algorithms, he makes precise diagnosis and prediction of agricultural water-fertilizer management and crop response, and developed deep-learning-based software for identifying crop diseases and pests, which is integrated into the ET Agricultural Brain Management System. This is applied to water, fertilizer and medication management of crops such as sugar cane in Guangxi, rice in Hubei and lettuce in Fujian Province. He has published more than 100 papers and 2 monographs. As the project leader, he has presided over 3 National Natural Science Foundation projects (including 2 General Programs, 1 Youth Foundation), 2 national key research and development plan subprojects. He won the first Prize of Science and Technology Progress in higher Education institutions of the Ministry of Education, the third prize of Guangxi Science and Technology Progress Award, the outstanding doctoral thesis of Hubei Province. He was appraised as one of the 351 talents of Wuhan University, "Luojia Young Scholar", and honored as the young talents of the State Key Laboratory of Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering Science "Evolution Project" young talents. Also, he is the outstanding reviewer of Journal of Hydrology. He won first prize of "Water Conservancy Youth (English) Scientific Paper Competition" of Chinese Hydraulic Society, "Chutian Sholars" of Hubei Province and other awards and titles. He is deputy editor of Geofluids, an SCI Journal, reviewer of Water Resources Research and Journal of Hydrology.

　　WU Songbai, Deputy Editor-in-Chief, PhD, Professor, and Master’s Supervisor at Northwest University. His research focuses on hillside hydrology and soil erosion dynamics. His major academic contributions include: (1) solving the problem of coupling simulation of gully morphology and hydraulic erosion in soil erosion studies, improving the prediction accuracy of hillside soil erosion; (2) explaining the underlying reasons for non-monotonic spatiotemporal dynamics, slope, and scale effects in runoff erosion through physical models, ensuring accurate prediction of runoff erosion in complex terrains or at the watershed scale; (3) improving the sand interception model for vegetation buffer strips and the rain-infiltration-runoff model under crusting conditions, which has significant application value for optimizing and evaluating vegetation restoration measures on the Loess Plateau. Based on this research, he has published more than ten papers as the first author in top-tier journals such as Water Resources Research. He has led several research projects, including NSFC general programs, youth fund, National Key R&D Plan sub-topics, and the China Postdoctoral Fund. He was selected for the Hong Kong Scholars Program under the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation, the Youth Innovation Team at Shaanxi Universities, and as an expert in flood control and emergency rescue technology in Shaanxi Province. He also serves as a youth editorial board member for Journal of Soil and Water Conservation. He has received several prestigious awards, including the Outstanding Presentation Award at the Chinese Hydrological Geography Academic Annual Meeting, the Early Career ISMC Presentation Award from the International Soil Modeling Consortium, the Hong Kong Scholar Award, the First Prize in Excellent Scientific and Technological Research Achievements in Shaanxi Higher Education Institutions in 2024, and the Second Prize for Geoinformation Science and Technology Progress in 2024.
