Lin Jian, male, doctor, distinguished researcher and doctoral supervisor. In 1982, he graduated from the Department of earth and space science, University of science and technology of China, with a bachelor's degree in geophysics, a scholarship and a medal from Guo Moruo. In 1984 and 1988, he obtained master's and doctor's degrees in geophysics from the Department of Geological Sciences of Brown University. Since 1988, he has been a scientist at the Woods Hole Institute of Oceanography in the United States, and won the Young Scientist Award of the Karl Pitt foundation in the same year. He has successively served as assistant researcher, associate researcher, lifelong scientist, senior researcher, and professor of postgraduate joint program of MIT / Woods Hole Institute of Oceanography. He was one of the first visiting scientists of the Southern California Earthquake Research Center of NSFC, a visiting scholar of the national seismological research center of the U.S. Geological Survey, and a visiting professor of the University of Paris in France. From 2007 to 2009, he served as chairman of the international mid ocean ridge earth and Life Sciences Research Organization (Interridge). Since 2012, he has been a member of the academic committee of the Key Laboratory of Marginal Sea Geology, Chinese Academy of Sciences; since 2014, he has been a special researcher of the South China Sea Institute of Oceanography, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In 2007, he was elected Fellow, Geological Society of America; in 2008, he was elected Fellow, American Association for advancement of Sciences; in 2009, he was awarded Henry bicolor distinguished oceanographer professor at Woods Hole Institute of Oceanography.
We have studied the tectonics and dynamics of the earth's oceanic plates for a long time, including the formation and evolution of mid ocean ridges, trench subduction zones, deep-sea transfer faults, marginal seas, submarine volcanoes and mantle plumes, hydrothermal processes, etc., and studied the characteristics of seismic stress, the mechanism of tsunami, planetary geophysics, etc.
Key research area 1: plate tectonics and dynamics of deep ocean and marginal sea
He led and participated in 18 international scientific expeditions in the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, South China Sea and Mediterranean Sea, and used advanced means such as submarine robots and ocean drilling to study deep-sea geological processes. In 2005, he co led the first round the world expedition of dayang-1 and served as the co chief scientist of the voyage. In 2007, they jointly led the discovery of an active hydrothermal vent on the southwestern Indian Ocean ridge. In 2014, he served as the co chief scientist of the 349 South China Sea Drilling of the international ocean discovery program (IODP). At present, he is leading the Five-Year "Mariana Trench scientific research project", focusing on exploring the causes of the deepest trench on the earth, studying the special geological, marine and ecological environment of the trench, and accelerating the construction of an interdisciplinary innovation team in China.
