1、 Personal Introduction: Liao Xiaoying, born in January 1991. Research interests: Using micro area in-situ analysis technology and phase equilibrium simulation technology, this study focuses on the Qinling orogenic belt, which has undergone multi-stage tectonic evolution. Through detailed research on different types of metamorphic minerals in metamorphic rocks, especially high-pressure/ultra-high pressure metamorphic rocks, this study traces the metamorphic evolution history of the orogenic belt and the melting/fluid activity of the continental subduction zone. By combining high-temperature and high-pressure experiments with natural samples, this study investigates the deep-seated crust mantle interactions induced by partial melting during the exhumation stage of ultra deep subduction continental crust rocks
