Professor Jiao obtained his BEng and MEng in Hydrogeology from China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) and PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of Birmingham, UK. He worked as Associate Editor (2004-2008) and Editor (2008-2015) of Hydrogeology Journal, and Associated Editor (2002-2008) for Ground Water. He was the 2023 recipient of O.E. Meinzer Award, the Hydrogeology Division, Geological Society of America and the M King Hubbert Award of National Ground Water Association. He was also the 2022 Ineson Lecturer of the London Geological Society. Dr Jiao was elected Fellow of the Geological Society of London, the Geological Society of America, and the American Society of Civil Engineers. He has published over 230 SCI journal papers and a book on Coastal Hydrogeology (Cambridge University Press, co-authored with Vincent Post). His research interests include dynamic interaction between seawater and groundwater, subsurface airflow induced by sea tides and pumping tests, confined groundwater zone and slope instability in weathered igneous rocks, regional hydrogeology and hydrogeochemistry in aquifer-aquitard systems in river basins, and impact of land reclamation on coastal groundwater regimes.
