Research Interest: My research interests include lithium isotope, magmatic-hydrothermal evolution, global climate change, etc. I believe that computer programs can help geologists work out complex geological processes. Therefore, I am also interested in geochemical thermodynamics visualization, numerical simulation, geological big data, and machine learning and have tried to do some preliminary work.
Research Works¶
My recent works:
- Highly differentiated granite:Silicic magma reservoirs and pegmatite-type rare-metal mineralization.
- Continental weathering and climate change:Li Isotope fractionation during the Late Devonian Frasnian–Famennian (F–F) event.
- GeoTVP:An open source geochemical thermodynamic reaction web platform. You can try some demos of thermodynamic calculations our website.
Some popular science articles I posted online:
- The Disappearing Memory of the Earth.(Award-winning Work)
- Anthropocene: Have humans really changed the Earth?
- The Love Story between the Earth and the Moon:50th anniversary of the last human landing on the moon.
- If fossils could speak—The Wonderful World of the Mesozoic Era Narrated by Fossils.(Published on CNKI)
- Aventurine and Jadeite: Discovering the Shared Beauty and Unique Traits of Two Fascinating Gems.
- Karst Landscapes and Young Minds: An Educational Trip in Guangxi.(Sponsored by the Dr. Stone Society)
- The Extinction of the Dinosaurs: A Journey Through Time.
