Prof. Ahmed Youssef | Geological Hazards and Engineering | Research Excellence Award

Sohag University | Egypt

This scholarly profile reflects sustained engagement in peer review and academic evaluation across a wide range of geoscience, environmental, and hazard-focused journals, demonstrating deep expertise in earth systems, environmental risk, and applied geosciences. The reviewer’s contributions emphasize interdisciplinary research themes including urban drainage resilience, climate adaptation, disaster risk reduction, geomorphology, landslide dynamics, hydrogeology, environmental sustainability, and geospatial science. A strong focus is placed on resilient infrastructure planning, particularly in historically dense urban environments facing hydrological, spatial, and socio-environmental constraints. The research perspective integrates remote sensing, spatial analysis, environmental modeling, hazard mapping, and climate risk assessment to support sustainable urban and regional development. Critical engagement with manuscripts reflects advanced understanding of natural hazards, engineering geology, environmental earth sciences, and sustainable land management. The scholarly scope also extends to geomatics, environmental planning, and earth observation technologies, supporting data-driven policy and resilient city frameworks. Overall, the academic contributions demonstrate a commitment to advancing scientific rigor, interdisciplinary collaboration, and evidence-based solutions for environmental resilience, disaster mitigation, and sustainable development, strengthening the global knowledge base in geoscience research and environmental systems science.

Li Yin | Slope engineering | Best Researcher Award

Dr. Li Yin | Slope engineering | Best Researcher Award

Liaoning Technical University | China

Dr. Li Yin is an accomplished scholar whose research spans open-pit mining theory and technology, digital mining techniques, mine geological hazards and slope engineering. At Liaoning Technical University she has directed numerous enterprise-commissioned projects and led major provincial and national science fund initiatives, producing a strong record of peer-reviewed work: nine academic papers (including three in SCI and three in EI indexed journals) and six patent applications (two granted). Her h-index stands at 29, with over 4 000 citations across her publications — a reflection of the broad relevance of her work. Her innovation lies in developing a practical method to determine the main sliding direction of open-pit mine landslides using ground-based InSAR monitoring imagery and a novel Cumulative Difference Degree–Time (CDD-T) metric, integrating OpenCV image-segmentation, simulated-annealing-filtered image similarity and linear fitting of deformation sub-regions. This data-driven method bridges the gap between theoretical modelling and real-world monitoring in mining slope stability, offering engineers a tool with direct on-site applicability. Her work has earned first and second prizes at the provincial/ministerial level for scientific and technological progress, underscoring her impact in mining engineering and geological science. She continues to advance the field through translational applications, training of younger engineers and integration of new monitoring technologies — positioning her to shape the future of data-enabled mining safety and slope disaster prevention.
