MY RESEARCH

A High-Resolution Global Subduction Model with Data Assimilation

A High-Resolution Global Subduction Model with Data Assimilation

Thanks to the large computational power provided by NCSA, we developed a high-resolution global subduction model with data assimilation....

Southern Hemisphere Cratonic Evolution

Southern Hemisphere Cratonic Evolution

Cratons are the most long-lived parts of continents. How they react to mantle dynamic processes while surviving the geological history...

Mantle Flow and Seismic Anisotropy

Mantle Flow and Seismic Anisotropy

Seismic anisotropy records both the past and present deformation inside the solid Earth. In the mantle, seismic anisotropy is mainly...

Flat Slab Formation and Its Consequences

Flat Slab Formation and Its Consequences

Flat-slab subduction is an important tectonic process that greatly shapes the Earth’s surface geology. However, both the causes and the...

MY PLAYGROUND

The animation below shows a global subduction model since 150 Ma

Compare the predicted present slab with tomography at different trench segments

Reproduce the Farallon flat slab

The animation below shows a global plate reconstruction since 230 Ma (from Muller et al., 2016)
