Main achievements

Achievements in scientific research

Ding Lin proposed a new understanding of the time and mode of collision between the Indian continent and Eurasia continent, and discovered a large foreland basin around the collision of the Yarlung Zangbo Suture Zone. The transition from oceanic lithospheric subduction to continental lithospheric subduction is revealed. The quantitative restoration of the uplift history of the Gangdise mountains and the Himalayas reveals that the Gangdise mountains have been uplifted to an altitude of more than 4500m in 56 million years; the altitude of the Himalayas at that time was less than 1000m, and it rapidly uplifted to more than 5000m in 24-15 million years. as of November 2019, Ding Lin has published more than 200 relevant papers, with 13800 citations in SCI and h index of 59. He is a highly cited scholar in China in 2018. The representative papers are as follows: Ding, L., Zhong, D., Yin, A., Kapp, P., & Harrison, T.M. (2001).

Ding Lin won the first prize of science and technology of the Ministry of land and resources in 2010.

personnel training

On September 3, 2018, Ding Lin, at the invitation of Lanzhou University, went to Lanzhou University for a series of activities such as academic exchanges, and delivered an academic report entitled "Himalayan orogenic belt uplift process and its environmental impact" to more than 100 teachers and students in conference room 1221, guanyunlou. on April 2, 2019, Ding Lin participated in the third series of theme reports of "teachers and students talk together" held by school of Geological Sciences and mineral resources of Lanzhou University in classroom C201 of Tianshan hall, and made the theme report of "academic way and talent". on November 27, 2019, Ding Lin was invited to deliver an academic report entitled "the rise of the Himalayas and its impact on resources and environment" for teachers and students in the lecture hall of School of international education, Hefei University of technology. On July 3, 2019, Ding Lin, an undergraduate of Geology Department of Peking University in 1984, was selected as the alumni representative to speak at the graduate graduation ceremony and degree awarding ceremony of Peking University in 2019. As a senior, he told the graduates: only those who have self-discipline are outstanding - stick to self-discipline, think independently, and do things that are useful to society; only those who have self-confidence are self-improvement - believe in self-discipline With everyone's efforts, China's science and technology will make breakthroughs in more fields; only those who are self-improvement will win forever - Peking University people shoulder the responsibility of personal, national and even world development, and should keep pure, constantly questioning, thinking and charging. Ding Lin hopes that the students will inherit the spirit of Peking University, be practical adults of Peking University, and make innovative contributions on the basis of absorbing the advantages of Chinese and foreign science.
