Precambrian Geology
Lithosphere Evolution
---Precambrian Geology
 
This group focuses on formation and evolution of the early continental crust, mainly researching timing, nature and tectonic process of major geological events in Precambrian and its implication on important ore resources, early Precambrian magmatism and metamorphism and its relationship with supercontinent assembly-breakup, and crustal component and structure of the North China Craton in early Precambrian and its destruction and reworking during Phanerozoic.
 
Our research regions are mainly the North China Craton and its adjacent area, and typical Precambrian terranes abroad. Our major outcomes include constraints on the early continental crust formation and evolution; genesis of the high-pressure and high-temperature metamorphism; crustal anatexis, magmatism and their correlation with mantle magma; recognition of mafic dyke swarms and supercontinent reconstruction; and reworking of ancient continental crust in Phanerozoic. Our group builds a long-term cooperative relationship with both North and South Koreas.
