Magmatism and Crustal Evolution of the Tibetan Plateau

這本書將非常獨特，因為目前沒有任何一本專注於西藏高原的岩漿與地殼演化的同類書籍。這本書將是第一本連貫且具主題性的出版物，將西藏高原的岩漿與地殼演化的所有方面整合在單一卷冊中。編寫這本關於地球上如此獨特地點的書籍，使其在內容上也顯得非常特別且獨一無二，未來許多年將成為備受追捧的出版物。這本書將包含大量新的地球化學、岩石學和地質年代學數據。這本書具有高度的跨學科性，整合了來自地球科學廣泛領域的多樣數據集、觀察結果和資訊。

Professor Jinfu Deng (1935-2021) was a professor at China University of Geosciences, Beijing. He had served the dean of the Department of Geology, the vice-chairman of theAcademic Committee of the University, the executive director of the Chinese Society of Mineralogy- Petrology-Geochemistry and so on. He was a visiting professor at the Department of Geology and Planetary Sciences at Caltech, USA (1986-1988). His research interests included igneous petrology, petrotectonics, petrophysical chemistry and mineralization. (1) He was the first to introduce physicochemistry into the study of genesis of igneous rocks, crust-mantle deep processes, regional petrogeotectonics and mineralization. (2) He proposed a theoretical model of 'continental roots-plume tectonics' on geodynamic evolution of lithosphere of China and Eurasia based on tectonic division at lithosphere scale and crust-mantle deep processes. (3) He proposed the composition profile and thermal structure model of the upper mantle in eastern China and revealed the huge thinning of the North China Craton lithosphere. (4) He proposed that the cataclysm of the lithosphere-asthenosphere system was the fundamental power source of the metallogenic "great explosion", which was efficiently applied to explaining metallogenic mechanism and evaluating mineral resources potential.
