Current Research

My interest is history of Earth: evolution of solid earth (e.g. initiation of plate tectonics), environmental change (e.g. seawater composition) and evolution of life through geologic time. Recently, we try to decode environmental change, which includes surface temperature, seawater composition (redox-sensitive elements and nutrients) and global carbon cycle, after the Marinoan (630 Ma) Snowball Earth to early Cambrian based on multi-isotopic and elemental analyses (proxies) of sedimentary rocks, and the influence of environmental change on the drastic evolution of life (emergence of multicellular animals, Ediacara Fauna and Metazoan around 600 Ma and Cambrian shelly biota.)
