Zhong-Hai Li

I am Zhong-Hai Li, a professor in the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. My primary research interest is using numerical modeling method to investigate the plate tectonics and geodynamics. The first direction in my group is the plate convergence dynamics, from subduction initiation, to mature subduction processes, and finally to the continental collision and convergence cessation. The second direction is the material circulation between the surficial and deep Earth, with highlighting the volatile fluid cycling and its geological and environmental responses. I hold “physical mechanics” in one hand and “material circulation” in the other, in order for the better understanding of Earth (and planetary) evolution.

Multiengine-driving Tethyan evolution

The highest mountain range in the Alps in the Western Europe, the towering peaks of the Himalayas in Asia, and ~1/3 world crude oil production in the middle east – what brings these remarkable nature gift together? The answer is Tethyan orogenic belt, which spans across the entire Eurasian continent. This week, we are privileged to have Prof. Zhong-Hai Li from the University of Chinese Academy of ...[Read More]
