of Sciences. He was elected member of the Chinese Academy
of Sciences (Academician) in 2009. His professional fields cover Precambrian
geology, metamorphic geology and petrology. His research focus is on early

Yue Zhao is a Research Professor and Vice-Director of the Institute
of Geomechanics, Chinese
Academy of Geological Sciences, Beijing. He earned a
bachelor's degree in geology from Changchun College of Geology in 1982 and a MS
degree in structural geology and tectonics from the Chinese Academy
of Geological Sciences in 1986. His research interests include structural and
tectonic evolution of East Asian and the East Antractica.
He firstly propopsed that the Jurassic deformations in northern North China
Craton is related to geotectonics transition from Paleoasian system and
Paleotethyan system to Paleopacific active continental margin of eastern Asia. He is also the first one explained the meaning of
the Pan-African events in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica and its inference on East
Gondwana tectonics.



Taiping Zhao is a Research Professor at the Guangzhou
Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. His research
interests include magmatism and related ore-forming processes. He has been
focused on the study of the igneous rocks and related ore deposits in North
China Craton and East Qinling-Dabie orogenic belt in the last two decades. His
current researches mainly consist of two aspects, major
