2013 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Plate tectonics
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Tectonics

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Paleontology, Seismology, Tectonics, Geomorphology and Subduction. His Paleontology research focuses on Plateau and how it relates to Structural geology. His Seismology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Gneiss and Far East.

His Tectonics research incorporates elements of Shear and Mantle. The concepts of his Geomorphology study are interwoven with issues in Metamorphic rock, Crust, Plate tectonics, Shear zone and Lithosphere. His work on Blueschist as part of general Subduction study is frequently connected to Metamorphic core complex and Detachment fault, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His most cited work include:

  • Geologic Evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan Orogen (3297 citations)
  • Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the Himalayan orogen as constrained by along-strike variation of structural geometry, exhumation history, and foreland sedimentation (941 citations)
  • An indentation model for the North and South China collision and the development of the Tan‐Lu and Honam Fault Systems, eastern Asia (784 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Paleontology, Seismology, Tectonics, Fault and Geomorphology. In his research, Structural geology and Proterozoic is intimately related to Plateau, which falls under the overarching field of Paleontology. In his work, Plate tectonics and Mantle is strongly intertwined with Crust, which is a subfield of Seismology.

His research on Suture also deals with topics like

  • Terrane which intersects with area such as Zircon and Earth science,
  • Gondwana most often made with reference to Craton. He has included themes like Geochemistry, Mafic, Rift and Continental margin in his Subduction study. An Yin combines subjects such as Thermochronology and Geochronology with his study of Main Central Thrust.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Paleontology (45.00%)
  • Seismology (43.75%)
  • Tectonics (35.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Paleontology (45.00%)
  • Cenozoic (18.33%)
  • Tectonics (35.42%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Paleontology, Cenozoic, Tectonics, Geophysics and Plateau are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Permian, Geochemistry, Thermochronology and Mesozoic in addition to Cenozoic. His research investigates the connection with Mesozoic and areas like Foreland basin which intersect with concerns in Shear zone and Geologic map.

His Tectonics research integrates issues from Albedo and Geodesy. His Structural basin study which covers Zircon that intersects with Geochronology. His research in Lithosphere focuses on subjects like Terrane, which are connected to Fault.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Late Cenozoic magmatic inflation, crustal thickening, and >2 km of surface uplift in central Tibet (28 citations)
  • Mesozoic-Cenozoic evolution of the Eastern Kunlun Range, central Tibet, and implications for basin evolution during the Indo-Asian collision (25 citations)
  • Mesozoic-Cenozoic evolution of the Eastern Kunlun Range, central Tibet, and implications for basin evolution during the Indo-Asian collision (25 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Sedimentary rock
  • Plate tectonics
  • Tectonics

An Yin mainly focuses on Paleontology, Cenozoic, Structural basin, Geochemistry and Tectonics. His study on Paleontology is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Plateau. His study in Cenozoic is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Earth science and China.

His study in the field of Mesozoic and Neogene also crosses realms of Collision. Geochemistry connects with themes related to Paleogene in his study. His Tectonics study incorporates themes from Fault and Compression.
