Brief Introduction
Guo is interested in a variety of tectonics and geophysical problems dealing with deep deformation, continent-continent collision, continental crustal growth, as well as driving mechanism on seafloor spreading. Her research has taken her to northern Tibet, northeastern Tibet, eastern Tibet, southern Tibet and Hoh Xil of the plateau’s interior
