Research interests

  • Geochemistry and metallogenesis of seafloor mineral resources (SMS deposit, Fe-Mn nodule, Fe-Mn crust and REE-rich mud) and their natural analogues on land (VMS, umber, and stratiform Mn deposits)
  • Geochemistry and metallogenesis of epithermal Au-Ag deposits
  • Reconstruction of the global paleo-environmental changes and its relation with metallogenesis.
