Research Areas
Based on the joint inversion method, I focus on the structure:
1) small-scale crustal structure and its relationship with fault zone and/or ore deposit;
2) large-scale lithospheric structure and its implication to the geological evolution;
3) Crust-mantle structure and its relationship with volatile distribution
