Profile
Xisheng Xu completed a PhD in the School of Earth Sciences in 2000 in which he examined the lithospheric mantle beneath eastern China. Xisheng's research was undertaken in collaboration with Nanjing University. Xisheng is an Adjunct Professor in GEMOC and a Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences, Nanjing University, China.
Field of research
How subcontinental lithospheric mantle has been formed and modified throughout Earth history; the temporal and causal relationships between mantle events and crustal evolution; generation and evolution of granites in southeastern China.
Awards
