Huang Jiqing(T.K.Huang)and Chinese geotectonics research
This paper summarizes the basic content and writing basis of T.K.Huang classic work on Major Tectonic Forms of China.We elaborate on the academic style and working methods of T.K.Huang and his scientific group,emphasize the importance of field geological investigation,and highlight the use of new scientific concepts and facts to develop geotectonics in keeping with the times.We propose that the geotectonics has been advanced from the study of the crustal structure and lithospheric structure on the Earth's surface to the new stage of the study of the multisphere tectonics of the Earth system as an integrated whole.
