Contribution:
- Performed a series of numerical experiments over a range of buoyancy ratios, compositional viscosity ratios, and internal heating rates and analysed their effects to thermochemical piles
- Compared simulations with constant heating and radioactive decay heating, and found that although simulations with radioactive decay showed a slight decline of the stability of piles, there was little difference among them

Contribution:
- Compiled and analysed all the earthquakes that have been investigated with optical image matching by 2019
- Proposed a new DEM-based method using the ALOS World 3D DEM to reduce the orthorectification errors
- Re-analysed coseismic slip distribution and shallow slip deficit (SSD) and found that the SSD model may primarily be artefacts in the measurements
