Title: Comparisons of large igneous provinces (LIPs) and black shales in North China and Northern Australian cratons: Implications for paleogeographic reconstruction, paleoenvironment and subdivision of the geological time scale
Author: Prof Zhang Shuanhong, Institute of Geomechanics, Chinese Academy of Geology
Bio: Shuan-Hong Zhang is a Professor of the Institute of Geomechanics, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences and vice-director of Key Laboratory of Paleomagnetism and Tectonic Reconstruction, Ministry of Natural Resources in Beijing. His recent researches mainly focus on Meso-Neoproterozoic tectonics and paleogeographic reconstructions of the Nuna (Columbia) and Rodinia supercontinents using large igneous provinces (LIPs) and rifting sediments, as well as the potential environmental effect of LIPs during the Meso-Neoproterozoic period. During last 5 years, he has published over 12 scientific papers in international journals such as Geology, Earth and Planetary Science Letters, Earth-Science Reviews, Precambrian Research, Tectonics, etc., and obtained two key research funds from the National Natural Science Foundation of China to study the Meso-Neoproterozoic tectonics and correlations of the LIPs and black shales during the "Boring Billon (1800 to 800 Ma).
Please don't hesitate to contact one of the NT Division committee members should you have any questions or wish to remote in for either presentation.
