Biography (只提供英文版)

Associate Professor in Department of Earth Sciences at The University of Hong Kong
Research focuses on the application of thermal and near infrared reflectance spectroscopic remote sensing along with laser altimetry, and stereo imaging to systematically identify, map and characterize ancient volcanic structures on the planet Mars in order to characterize the geological evolution of the martian crust with implications for crustal recycling mechanisms that pre-dated plate tectonics
RFS project - to explore ancient volcanotectonics on Mars using remote sensing data returned from spacecraft in orbit around the red planet. Remote sensing datasets will be used to explore and quantify Noachian (>3.6 billion years old) volcanism through morphometrics, mapping and infrared spectral measurements in the ancient highlands of Mars
Awards and Honours:
- RGC Research Fellow (2023)
- Fellow of Geological Society of America (2022)
- Fellow of Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (2019)

Diverse Volcanism and Volcanotectonics on Ancient Mars

讚詞

這項研究的重點是應用熱和近紅外反射光譜遙感以及激光測高和立體成像來系統地識別、繪製和表徵火星上的古代火山結構，以便表徵具有意義的火星地殼的地質演化。用于早于板塊構造的地殼回收機制。這個星球上板塊構造的起源尚不清楚，因爲大部分地質記錄已因侵蝕和構造循環而丟失，但火星包含豐富而複雜的古代火山構造記錄，其細節將揭示早期行星過程。生命起源于這個星球上受板塊前構造過程控制的富含能量的熱液環境。但通過研究火星上的類似過程，我們可以更好地瞭解火山構造與火星上生命可能起源之間的可能聯繫。
