报告人简介

Richard Van Rensselaer. Heermance III，美国加利福尼亚州立大学北岭分校地质系助理教授。2002年获犹他州立大学硕士，2007年获加利福尼亚州立大学地质学博士。Heermance助理教授主要研究兴趣是地层，地貌对景观变化的记录研究；并通过将沉积学和地层学、地貌、构造地质学、同位素地球化学结合起来从而推断景观演化。目前主持的项目有1) Using in-situ cosmogenic isotopes of 10Be and 26Al to quantify the ages of fluvial terraces along the Ventura River in southern California to determine the climatic and structural controls on terrace formation. 2) Basin analysis of the Kashi foreland along the Tian Shan margin in western China, including sedimentology, magnetostratigraphy, and structural analyses. This work aims to understand the foreland basin evolution related to the Indo-Asian collision. 3) Determining the glacial chronology of the Trinity Alps in northern California by detailed mapping and cosmogenic isotope analysis. This work will correlate glacial periods in the Klamath mountains with the well-known record from the Sierra Nevada. Past projects include the stratigraphic and structural controls on fault rupture during the 1999 ChiChi earthquake along the Chelungpu fault in Taiwan, and magnetostratigraphy within intermontane basins in Kyrgyzstan。在Geology,QSR,GSAB,EPSL等国际权威期刊上发表学术论文十余多篇。
