Research Areas

1. Anisotropic Tomography:  

So far many researchers have studied the heterogeneous structure of the crust and upper mantle with isotropic tomography method, which have greatly advanced our understanding of seismotectonics, magmatism and geodynamics in the Earth. Some researchers have studied seismic anisotropy by shear-wave splitting measurements. However, anisotropic bodies may exist extensively in different parts, such as the subducting slab, the mantle, the ductile lower crust, and the brittle upper crust. This complexity makes it difficult to figure out exactly where and how the anisotropy originates from the shear-wave splitting measurements alone. We modified the tomographic method of Zhao et al. (1992) to invert for velocity heterogeneity, azimuthal anisotropy, and radial anisotropy beneath the Japan Islands, which resulted in a better understanding of the structure and dynamics of this region. We plan to apply this method to other regions, such as North China Craton, Tibetan Plateau, Iranian Plateau, etc.  

2. Dynamic Modeling: 

We applied the 3-D finite-element method to the abundant GPS data in China to study the crustal deformation, stress field and dynamics in China. The influences caused by the India-Eurasia collision, the gravitational poential energy fifference of the Tibet Plateau, the mantle convection and the large-scale faults were taken into account. I plan to use dislocation model to study the present-day crustal deformation and the features of some large-sacle faults in China
