研究领域
1、环境地质灾害的防治与研究领域，他的研究成果被国际滑坡地质灾害界给与很高的评价，其代表著作为‘中国西北黄土区滑坡’（英文）， 被国际滑坡界广为引用，另一代表作是为全球最大百科全书Encyclopedia Britannia撰写的‘滑坡定义’一文，更是代表了他在国际该领域的研究水平和地位。
2、在气候，环境变迁及风沙尘暴领域，他提出了第五地球磁化率生物源理论，该文在地学1区杂志Quaternary Science Reviews发表，引用率达31次，至今仍居该杂志榜首。另在1998年提出了中国西部风沙尘暴的新起源，其正确性被后来许多研究者证实，只因当时发表的期刊影响较小（Journal of Arid Environments），未能得到更广泛的引用。最近，他与英国Derbyshire教授和美国Owen教授合作撰写的Engineering Geology, Geomorphology and Geotechnics专著将进一步提高了他在这一领域的学术影响力。
