Biography
Xiao Xuchang, male, Han nationality, is a native of Anshun, Guizhou Province. He graduated from the Geology Department of Peking University in 1952. Xiao is considered an expert on structural geology.
In the 1950s, Xiao studied multiple metallic ore deposits in iron hills at the periphery of the Baiyin Factory with his colleagues. He then participated in the compilation of Chinese geotectonic maps and edited the publication "Chinese Geotectonic Features."
The following decade, Xiao wrote the book "The Geological Structural Features of Aromatic Chromic, Ultra-Aromatic Chromic Rock" which offered scientific support for strategic arrangement and reconnaissance of chromite. Xiao also studied plate tectonics and ophiolite and later described the high-pressure metamorphic belt in Qilian Mountains. He has more recently proposed ideas about dividing the lithosphere evolution stages of the ancient Orogenic Belt and the study of ophiolite structural types.
In 1991, he was elected as an academician to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
