RESEARCH INTEREST
I am interested in the geochemical processes of C-N-S-Fe in surface environment and the formation mechanism of source rocks. I focus on the environmental changes in deep-time, including redox, salinity, C-N-P-S cycles, climate, etc. and relate them to biological events (mass extinction/recovery/evolution) in some significant geological intervals (Neoproterozoic-Silurian).
