Description: Description: Jian Wang in the summer, 2008

Jian Wang started his PhD project in September, 2003 and submitted his thesis in the summer of 2007.
He has been a faculty member of School of Earth Sciences at Jilin University shortly after PhD and promoted to Full Professor in 2008
.

 

 

He teaches Igneous Petrology, Metamorphic Petrology and Geochemistry and supervises several MSc and PhD students at Jilin University.

 

After the spring of 2009, we started several collaborate projects related to the evolution of North China Craton. The work has been financially supported by a research grant awarded to him from National Natural Science Foundation of China.

 

 

Jian Wang's PhD thesis project

Jian examined the oxidation state and metasomatism of the lithospheric mantle below the southern South America. Some were metasomatized by adakitic melt. Some were metasomatized by an asthenospheric melt that ascended through a slab window. He demonstrated that PGE abundance does not change even during extensive metasomatism, fO2 increase during subduction-related metasomatism, but that fO2 is lowered during the metasomatism by adakite that contained high CH4.

This paper documents the formation of orthopyroxenite from harzburgite during silica enrichment by evolved alkaline melt. The abundance of PGE did not change during the extensive metasomatism from harzburgite to orthopyroxenite.

Oxidation state of ancient subcontinental lithospheric mantle has been studied. This paper documents that the mantle underlying the southern South America formed by an accretion of abyssal peridotites in mid Paleozoic time and that it retained the oxidation state of the precursor material, abyssal peridotites

 Subarc mantle is generally oxidized. This paper documents that the mantle below the southern South America has been modified by adakitic melt with low fO2. The oxidation state is even more reduced than that for the abyssal peridotites.  Organic-rich sediments are abundant in the trench. The sediments overlying the slab produced methane during the partial melting of the slab (adakite) that caused the reduction of the overlying peridotites.
