The Tectonics and Metallogenesis of Asia

Tianfeng Wan is a professor of China University of Geosciences (Beijing). During 1988-1998, he was the chief secretary of IGCP 224 and 321 projects (for Asian Tectonics), the head of Group for Structural Geology and Tectonic, and the head of Open Laboratory of Lithosphere Tectonic and Geodynamics. He mainly teaches Geology, including Tectonics, Applied Structure Geology, Tectonic Stress Field, Introduction of Geosciences at China University of Geosciences (Beijing) and many institutes in China and other countries, he has lectured at research institutes of South Korea, Vietnam, Russian (USSR), Thailand, Malaysia and Japan etc. His research interests are the structural geology, tectonics and metallogenesis (especially the ancient and recent tectonic stress field for oil and gas fields and ore deposits). He has published 10 books (4 in English), and 140 papers (36 in English, others in Chinese). His monograph “The Tectonics of China: Data, Maps and Evolution” in English was co-published in 2011 by High Education Press (HEP) and Springer.
