    Associate Researcher Cao Lingmin, Researcher Zhao Minghui, and Researcher Qiu Xuelin, Key Laboratory of Marginal Sea and Ocean Geology, South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Dr.


    In the subduction zone, the study of upper mantle anisotropy is the key to understanding the stress distribution and subduction dynamics of the subduction zone


    The Sulawesi Sea area in Southeast Asia is adjacent to the Pacific plate to the east and India - Australia plate to the


    Studies have shown that the fast wave direction of the TNTI station above the Halmahera island arc is northeast - southwest ( NE - SW ), inclined to the direction of the trench and slab subduction .


    The research results provide a new seismological basis for the in-depth understanding and understanding of the upper mantle deformation under the interaction of multiple subduction systems around the Sulawesi Sea


    The research was jointly funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Pilot Project B, and the major special projects introduced by the Southern Ocean Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory (Guangzhou) talent team
