厦门大学沉积地质学课题组简介

本课题组主要从事沉积地质学研究，主攻方向为沉积源-汇系统分析及其在资源、环境领域的应用，擅长利用沉积学与地层学、矿物学与岩石学、元素及同位素地球化学等手段，解决表生地质过程中与沉积物的形成、侵蚀、搬运、堆积及演化有关的科学问题，并致力于与沉积学相关的地质资源和表生环境等领域的应用研究。

研究方法包括野外调查与测量、室内实验分析、数值模拟与仿真、大数据集成分析等，研究对象跨越多时空尺度，从单矿物颗粒的微观尺度到盆地或全球范围的宏观尺度，从现代短时事件沉积记录到地史深时沉积记录。主要兴趣在：

（1）利用河流、海洋沉积记录示踪近现代时间尺度的地表风化侵蚀、陆-海相互作用及沉积源-汇过程；

（2）利用盆地沉积记录研究地质时间尺度的沉积源-汇过程及构造-气候-沉积耦合关系；

（3）沉积地质学研究方法的评估及新方法的探索与开发（重点关注碎屑物源分析、风化过程示踪、沉积古环境及古气候重建等方面）；

（4）与沉积源-汇系统有关的油气地质、沉积矿产、风化碳汇、环境评价等应用研究。

欢迎有志于上述研究的学生及青年学者到厦门大学海洋与地球学院来学习、交流和工作。本课题组常年欢迎本科生、硕士生、博士生、博士后等不同阶段的研究人员加盟。

Sedimentary Geology Group at Xiamen University

The Sedimentary Geology Group at Xiamen University is led by Dr. Xing Jian and includes several graduate students and undergraduate trainees. The group mainly uses sedimentological, mineralogical, petrological and geochemical techniques to understand sediment-related surficial processes over modern and geologic time-scales and to provide support for petroleum industry.

They focus on sediments and sedimentary rocks spaning multiple spatial and temporal scales, i.e., single grain-scale to basin-scale and from geologic time to human time. Current research interests include, 1) understanding continental weathering and erosion, land-ocean interplays and the sediment source-to-sink processes from modern sedimentary record; 2) investigating how tectonics and climate control sedimentary environments, the formation of sediments and basin evolution from deep-time records; 3) exploring new proxies for sediment provenance analysis, chemical weathering evaluation and paleoclimatic reconstruction; 4) providing technical service for petroleum industry and for environmental protection. Their study areas include oceanic and continental sedimentary basins in the Tibetan plateau and typical river-sea systems in East Asia.

The research group constantly looks for qualified post-docs, graduate students, undergraduate students and often welcomes short-term visitors. If interested, please feel free to contact Dr. Xing Jian at xjian@xmu.edu.cn.
