- Cretaceous
Xiumian Hu mainly focuses on Paleontology, Cretaceous, Zircon, Geochemistry and Provenance.
All of his Paleontology and Obduction, Sedimentology, Ophiolite, Stratigraphy and Inversion investigations are sub-components of the entire Paleontology study.
Xiumian Hu integrates Cretaceous and Plateau in his studies.
His work carried out in the field of Zircon brings together such families of science as Felsic, Paleozoic, Detritus, Continental arc and Lithic fragment.
His study ties his expertise on Forearc together with the subject of Geochemistry.
Xiumian Hu combines subjects such as Suture, Conglomerate, Continental collision and Titanite with his study of Provenance.
