My work was focus on geometric deformation and tectonic evolution of the Chinese Altai and Western and Eastern Junggar in Central Asian Orogenic Belts. Combine with structural relationship in the field and the microscopic observation of thin sections, I can explain the Chinese Altai tectonothermal transition from Devonian to Permian, and the indentation of the Junggar Block into the Chinese Altai, use U-Pb chronology to define the ages of different tectonic evolution. My ambition is to explain accretionary progress between Junggar micro-block and Chinese Altai accretionary wedge in the Southwest Central Asian Orogenic Belts.

The growth of eastern Pangea involves three contrasting orogenic cycles: 1) Baikalian cycle (570-540 Ma) consists of accretion of peri-Rodinian continental, Mirovoi and Panthalassan oceanic fragments to the Siberian margin followed by extensional HT reworking, the growth of magmatic arc, giant accretionary wedge and intraoceanic basin. 2) Altai cycle is typified by crustal thickening followed by syn-extensional melting of the accretionary wedge (420-380 Ma) and the opening of Mongol-Okhotsk ocean.
