YAO Yupeng, TIAN Xingyou,YI Shanfeng, CHAI Yucheng. OPHIOLITE RESEARCH IN CHINA:CURRENT STATUS AND STRATEGY[J]. Advances in Earth Science, 1997, 12(2): 134-137.
The ophiolite research in China has achieved much progress during recent twenty years. Spatio-temporal distribution, diversity, classification, genesis and environment of the ophiolites in China have been deeply researched. In future research works, several points should be emphasized: the exhaustive study of typical ophiolite in China; the origin of ophiolitic magma and related mantle process, thereafter the mechanics of plate spreading; the analysis of the information carried by petrological units of ophiolite to provide a more reasonable explanation for plate tectonics. The identification and research of pre- Cambrian ophiolite should still be paid more cautions.
