Research title: Quantifying drivers of exhumation and landscape responses to tectonic and climatic variability in the Tian Shan region
Research Summary
My research focuses on understanding the sediementary to tectonic processes and their interactions in response to climatic variability and deep earth dynamics.
Currently, I study (i) the landscape evolution and foreland basin development in the Tianshan region mostly using numerical modelling methods, (ii) the thermal and exhumation history of northern Tibetan plateau (i.e., Qaidam) by thermochronology, (iii) the Cenozoic source-to-sink systems and tectonic evolution of the northern South China Sea. I aim to provide new insights into the Indo-Asian plate convergence and opening and closure of the Tethys Ocean.
