Brief Introduction
We are engaged in the study of the genetic interpretation and the geodynamic process of Cenozoic volcanic activities, mainly using the lithology characteristics, the in-situ mineral micro-geochemical composition, the bulk-rock Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf-Cu-Zn isotopic composition, and geochronology. At present, we are devoted to the studies on the magmatic tectonic evolution of Cenozoic volcanic activity in Northeast Asia, the petrogenesis and magma evolution process of volcanic activity around the South China Sea, and the geodynamic mechanism of Cretaceous volcanic activity in the Western Pacific.
