壳幔结构探测

主要研究：1）大尺度的岩石圈结构及其指示的地质过程；2）小尺度的地壳结构及其与断裂带、成矿带和撞击构造的关系；3）壳幔结构与挥发份的关系。

发展使用多参数联合反演算法来解决地球物理的多解性问题（联合反演速度结构，密度结构等），同时特别注重多参数的联合解释以及与实际地质问题的结合。在古地幔柱的地球物理响应，青藏高原东北缘变形机制，中国东部岩石圈性质，密集台阵技术的应用等方面有一系列创新型成果。共发表SCI论文70余篇，其中第一作者或通讯作者SCI论文30余篇(包括Earth-Science Reviews, Geology, Earth and Planetary Science Letters, Geophysical Research Letter, Journal of Geophysical Research; Tectonics等)，引用2500余次(google学术)。2019年第一作者/通讯作者PEPI文章入选该期刊Most cited articles since 2018。
