Research Fields

Dr. Wang has published a total of 113 SCI articles in journals including Science, Nature Communications (3), PNAS (2), EPSL (4), Geology (4), JGR-Solid Earth, GSA Bulletin (>14), Journal of Metamorphic Geology, and Journal of Structural Geology etc., with an H-index of 39 (ranking in the top 1% of the national H-index in the field of Earth and Planetary Studies in China), and a total of >5023 citations. In the past 5 years, she has published 17 SCI articles as the first and corresponding author in internationally influential journals such as Nature Communications, PNAS, Geology, EPSL, JGR-Solid Earth, etc.She is the recipient of the International Lithosphere Program Evgueni Burov Medal in 2026.

Grants & Projects:She is the Principal Investigator of 7 projects, including the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). Additionally, she is a core participant in 2 key projects of the National Major Research Plan and 1 China-Mongolia regional cooperation project.

In the past decades, her research is mainly focused on the following two topics:

 1) Deformation - metamorphism - melting fluid evolution history of ultrahigh pressure metamorphic rocks in Dabie-Sulu orogenic belt. 

Melt-fluid activity in the subduction zone plays an important role in the rapid exhumation of the deeply subducted crustal material, the magmatic activity and the growth of the continental crust. She reported the first case of large-scale partial melting of UHP eclogite, forming migmatized eclogite during its exhumation. After that, she leads her research group systematically studies its melting reactions and mechanisms, source of the melt, strain localization and microfabrics variation corresponding to melt-fluid events at different stages of exhumation. Her target is to establish the spatio-temporal evolution sequence of P-T-t-D-Melting along the strike of the orogenic belt and figure out the variation rules, as well as its influence on the deformation differentiation, rheological properties and rapid exhumation of subducted materials, so as to deeply understand the physical and chemical evolution process during the exhumation of the continental collision orogenic belt, and provide a basis for the crust-mantle reaction, the formation and evolution of the continental crust and the exhumation dynamics mechanism. The results were published in Nature Communications, EPSL, GSAB, JMG, Lithos and other top journals.

 2) Index features for Archean plate tectonic initiation and style. 

When and how the modern plate tectonic style started is one of the hottest issues and frontier scientific problems in the early evolution of the earth.  Taking the Archean tectonic melánge belt, that extending 1600km from the north to the south, from the Central Orogenic Belt of the North China craton as a natural laboratory, searching for the typical structural, petrology and UHP mineralogical evidence that is representative under the Phanerozoic modern plate tectonic regime. Our research team has identified and reported the oldest structure derived from large-scale subhorizontal plate movement (huge thrust nappe structure), Eclogite-facies metamorphosed subducted oceanic crust and UHP minerals in podiform chromite formed >2.5 billion years ago, provide systematic evidences and geological basis for the initiation of modern plate tectonics in Archean.The results were published in Nature Communications, PNAS, Earth Science Review, EPSL, Geology, GSA Bulletin, Precambrian Geology and other top journals.

In the future, we will continue to work on the mechanism, time limit and melt composition of crust melting under compression-extension conditions (accretion-collision orogenic belt, subduction zone) and different tectonic settings through time (Archean to Phanerozoic) in the world and their contribution to the new grown crust.
