Research interests:

Bo Huang is interested in (1) the secular changes of environment, tectonics, and geodynamics of the early Earth with a special focus on the North and South China cratons; and (2) the accretionary and collisional evolution of orogenic belts and associated geodynamic processes in Central Aisa and Tethys. Bo currently focuses on Archean TTG–greenstone belts, ophiolite/mélange, metamorphism, and sedimentary basins through combined methods of field mapping, structural anatomy, geochronology, geochemistry, isotope, modelling, and comprehensive tectonic analysis.

Speciality Areas:

• Tectonics

• Structural geology

• Precambrian geology

• Geochemistry

• Metamorphic geology

• Ophiolite/mélange/accretionary complex

• Phase equilibrium modelling

• Sedimentary provenance analysis
