个人简介
Ian Metcalfe's research experience covers earth sciences (particularly relating to East and Southeast Asia and more recently Australia), social sciences/economic history (including gender, labour and migration studies), climate-change and environmental studies, and research management. His international reputation is chiefly for earth science and multidisciplinary studies relating to East (mainly China) and Southeast Asia.
Prof. Metcalfe's most significant research contributions are in regional & global tectonics, palaeogeography, palaeontology (conodont and radiolarian biostratigraphy, and mass extinction) and timescale calibration studies, both by provision of new fundamental data and through development of testable models and applied multi-disciplinary data acquisition for model evaluation and testing. His work on the continental lithospheric terranes and suture zones of E and SE Asia is at the international forefront of global tectonic research. His model for the successive rifting and separation of three continental slivers from Gondwanaland, their northwards drift and subsequent amalgamation to form Asia, with the opening and closure of Palaeo-Tethys, Meso-Tethys and Ceno-Tethys ocean basins, has received wide acceptance. This 3-Tethys model for evolution of E and SE Asia and his Palaeozoic and Mesozoic palaeogeographic reconstructions have been widely adopted and have provided an ongoing and evolving framework for international global reconstruction and deep earth resources research for the last 30 years. He has also made fundamental contributions to collisional tectonics and ocean plate tectonics.
