I study the structures and deformation patterns of the crust and upper mantle with seismology (e.g., seismic tomography, shear-wave splitting, surface wave inversion, receiver functions, focal mechanism solutions). The main topics include:
- Geodynamics beneath subduction zones and continents
- Mechanism of interplate and intracontinental earthquakes
- Growth mechanism of the Tibetan and Mongolian plateaus
The current projects I am in charge of are:
- Layered deformation in the Tibetan margins and their implications for the plateau expansion
- Continental rheology and its control on intracontinental earthquakes and volcanoes
- Searching for paleo-Pacific slabs in the lower mantle under East Asia
I also take part in some works that determine high-resolution near-surface structures under cities and in areas of mineral deposits
