Overview

Yusheng Wan is affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences in China and works primarily in the field of Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a strong focus on geophysics, artificial intelligence applications, and geochemistry-related subfields. Their research spans multiple aspects of geological and geochemical analysis, high-pressure geophysics and materials, as well as earthquake and tectonic studies.

They have contributed to the study of the early Earth's geological history, including the formation and evolution of Archean rocks and the geochemistry of ancient terrains. Their recent publications include papers on lunar impact breccias, Neoarchean granitoids, zircons in the North China Craton, and the formation of banded iron formations associated with early Earth oxidation processes.

  • "Ages of lunar impact breccias: Limits for timing of the Imbrium impact" (2020, Geochemistry)
  • "Hadean to early Mesoarchean rocks and zircons in the North China Craton: A review" (2023, Earth-Science Reviews)
  • "Abiotic anoxic iron oxidation, formation of Archean banded iron formations, and the oxidation of early Earth" (2022, Earth and Planetary Science Letters)
  • "Neoarchean granitoids and tectonic regime of lateral growth in northeastern North China Craton" (2022, Gondwana Research)
  • "SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating and geochemistry of the 3.8-3.1 Ga Hujiamiao Complex in Anshan (North China Craton) and the significance of the trondhjemites for early crustal genesis" (2023, Precambrian Research)

Wan has frequently published in the following venues:

  • Precambrian Research
  • Lithos
  • Gondwana Research
  • Acta Petrologica Sinica
  • Geological Society of America Bulletin

Collaborative work is also a notable aspect of Wan's career, with frequent coauthors including Chunyan Dong, Hangqiang Xie, Dunyi Liu, Shoujie Liu, and Simon A. Wilde.

Key topics covered in their research include:

  • Geological and Geochemical Analysis
  • High-pressure geophysics and materials
  • Earthquake and tectonic studies
  • Geochemistry and Geologic Mapping
  • Geochemistry and Elemental Analysis
  • Paleontology and Stratigraphy of Fossils
  • Electrokinetic Soil Remediation Techniques

Their subfields of expertise extend beyond geophysics to incorporate artificial intelligence, which demonstrates an interdisciplinary approach to studying Earth sciences. Wan's work collectively contributes to understanding crustal genesis, tectonic regimes, and ancient geological processes through comprehensive geochemical methods and geochronological dating techniques.
