Academic Achievements and Honors:

Event sedimentation<span style=" font size: 16px; font family: The role of "Song style" has achieved multiple original understandings. The main innovative achievements include: firstly, the first identification and naming of the new sedimentary structure "mud coated intraclast" in deep-water sediments, based on which the discrimination criteria for deep-water sandy detrital sediment transport (SMTD) were established, and an underwater gravity flow transport and sedimentation process model was constructed, providing a new perspective for the genetic interpretation of deep-water terrestrial detrital sedimentary systems; Secondly, a sedimentary type and sequence development model controlled by the alternation of dry and wet climate cycles in continental basins has been constructed, enriching the theoretical understanding of sedimentary rocks in continental basins and providing theoretical basis and technical support for multiple exploration deployments and major discoveries in the Ordos Basin in recent years.
