The Jilin University Institute of Intelligent Simulation and Early Warning of Underground Environments began its development in 2018. The institute focuses on four key research areas related to ecological and environmental protection: intelligent simulation and early warning of soil and water pollution in underground environments, prediction of radionuclide migration in geological storage of high-level radioactive waste, evaluation and prevention of water hazards in coal mine flooding, and the scale effect of migration parameters in heterogeneous rock formations. The institute’s academic leadership team includes four experts, one of whom is a national high-level talent expert recruited from overseas, and another is a Tang Aoqing Young Scholar at Jilin University. The team has undertaken multiple research projects related to underground environments, including leading one National Key R&D Program project and participating in nine NSFC projects, as well as more than 10 joint research projects with provincial, ministerial, and enterprise-level partners. The total research funding exceeds 55 million RMB.
In recent years, the institute has published over 100 SCI-indexed papers, with more than 50 published in top-tier journals (GRL, EST, WR, WRR, JOH, etc.). It has also been granted more than 20 patents and software copyrights and has trained many master's and doctoral students.
