Brief Introduction
  The research of global climate change and marine deposition process using the paleomagnetism and geochemistry methods are my main interesting. In recent years, by the support of a series of  projects, such as National Natural Science Foundation projects, Guangdong Science and Technology Program and Natural Science Foundation projects, some significant research views have been made in global change, marine environment and environmental magnetism. The relative paleointesnity in South China Sea and secular variations of geomagnetic field in eastern Asia were the critic results in my research carrier. The influence of earth magnetic field to climate change is my next research field.
