The research mainly covers the following fields: investigations on regional lithospheric structure, DSS survey of crust and upper mantle velocity structure, study on present-day inner movement and deformation of Chinese mainland by analyzing GPS observations, geodynamics of Qingzang plateau, geophysical survey of the Dabie-Sulu ultra-high pressure metamorphic belt and probing into its formation mechanism, geophysical observations in sedimentary basins and study on their evolution process, and plate dynamics, etc.展开更多

Because the evidence for such studies is spread over different disciplines and in different spatial and temporal scales, advances in understanding the geodynamics of continental interiors often require a multi-disciplinary approach to examine the multiplescale nature of the subjects.展开更多
