Mantle upwelling at Afar triple junction shaped by overriding plate dynamics - Nature Geoscience The mantle upwelling beneath the Afar rift may be influenced by tectonic processes in the overriding lithospheric plates that shape the distribution of both the compositional heterogeneities and abundance of melt, according to a geochemical and statistical study of volcanic samples.

Happy new year my friends!

Wow this is really cool, happy thanksgiving day! Greetings from a beer enthusiast😁

In addition, I combine the concept of sequence stratigraphy and geochronology methods to investigate how the tectonic process cultivates the infill of the basins.

My previous work mainly used the detrital zircon as the proxy to reconstruct the terrane affinity during the breakup of the supercontinent Nuna.

Hi, I am a Chinese early career researcher, focusing on the basin evolution through provenance analysis, and sequence stratigraphy especially the Archean-Mesoproterozoic sediments.

I am seeking a research position and paste my Google Scholar profile here.
