معرفی
Dr. Dazhi Jiang is a Professor at Western University's Department of Earth Sciences and a Distinguished Professor at Northwest University, China. His research focuses on linking structural geology with tectonics through microstructural analysis, numerical modeling, and fieldwork. He develops self-consistent micromechanical models to study multi-scale deformation in Earth's lithosphere, with applications to regions like the Canadian Shield and North China Craton. His work integrates field observations, lab experiments, and computational methods to understand large-scale tectonic processes.
His research interests include deformation mechanisms, fabric development, and rheological heterogeneity. Key contributions include studies on metamorphic core complexes, quartz flow laws, and viscous inclusion dynamics. Dr. Jiang teaches courses in structural geology, field mapping, and continuum micromechanics at Western and collaborating institutions.
Scientific recognition includes his Distinguished Professor title at Northwest University. He actively supervises graduate students and seeks candidates for projects in the Canadian Cordillera and East China, focusing on microstructure evolution and cratonic thinning mechanisms.
Publications emphasize numerical modeling, tectonic deformation, and rheological analysis. His lab, the Structural Geology & Tectonics Laboratory, supports advanced research in deformation mechanics and lithospheric dynamics.
