Shaanxi Province, P.R. China

Course Taught

Structural Geology

An Outline of Earth Sciences

Field Teaching Practice:

1. Anhui Chaohu area field geological practice teaching for undergraduate.
2. Ordos Basin-Qinling Orogenic Belt comprehensive geological field of teaching practice for Base Class Undergraduate.

Research Interests

Dr. Li’s research focuses on Deformation Structures in the Continental Crust and the study of relationship of the Basin-Mountain Coupling. He combines sedimentary and structural geology analysis to understand the development of the basin and mountain, to constrain the kinematics and mechanics of basin forming processes, and to unravel the tectonic history of mountain belts. At present I dedicated to the study on deformation with numerical modeling. Current field areas of research include the Qinling Orogenic belt of the China Central Orogenic System and the Central Asian Orogenic Belt in West China.
