Personal Profile

Undertaking courses: (1) Introduction to Earth Science for first-year undergraduate students; (2) Field Geological Mapping Internship for second year undergraduate students; (3) Graduate Chronology of Structures

Scientific research

Research interests:

Mainly focuses on using structural geology, structural geomorphology, and medium low temperature thermochronology methods to quantitatively reveal the linkage process of internal and external dynamic geological processes, including intracontinental structures and mountain vein uplift, basin sediment burial and erosion de topping, water system and shallow landform evolution, to explore scientific issues such as continental deformation behavior and tectonic climate interactions.

Research project:

Research Project of the State Key Laboratory of Continental Dynamics, Research on Mesozoic Cenozoic Tectonic Process in the Intersection Area of Cruciform Structures, 2020-2024, presided over
