Research Areas

Xiaobo Tian's primary research work involves analysis of seismic waves to recover the velocity structure and lateral variations of velocity discontinuities in crust and upper mantle and to study the property of rocks in the crust. But my interesting is wide, including all kinds of seismological method, the structure of the earth, its evolution and interior movement.
