Dr. Adam Nordsvan (nordsvan@hku.hk)

Postdoctoral Scholar 2020-present

Phd (2020) – Curtain University

BS (2014) – University of Newcastle  

Adam is interested in how and why sediments are deposited, secular changes in sedimentary systems and the sedimentology and duration of Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth events. He has been developing new statistical methods for detrital zircon analysis that help identify potential source regions and aid with palaeogeographical reconstructions.

Dr. Qing Tang (qingt@hku.hk)

Postdoctoral Scholar 2021-present

PhD (2018)-Virginia Tech (USA)

MS (2014)-Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (China)

BS (2010)-Northwest University (China)

Qing’s work is mainly focused on early life evolution. He uses paleontological, geochemical, and geobiological methods to study some of the earliest eukaryotic fossils in the Proterozoic; to answer when the major eukaryotic clades, e.g., algae, protists, animals, evolved and how they became diverse; ultimately to understand the co-evolution between biosphere and geosphere in the Proterozoic. He is also interested in early animal evolution in the Cambrian with a special focus on the Cambrian explosion.

Mareie studies active tectonic margins, especially the Andes (Ecuador, Peru, Patagonia), to better understand the links between deep geodynamic processes, deformation, and erosion at the surface. In order to constrain the timing and magnitude of rock uplift and exhumation she integrates fieldwork with seismic observations, low-temperature thermochronologic, geochronologic, and isotope geochemical data.
