WANG Jun

l  Research professor and deputy director of Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

　　WANG Jun got his PhD on Palaeobotany from Northwest University (Xi’an) in June 1997. Since then he did his research career at Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and got a professor position there in 2001.  His major research interests focus on the Chinese Carboniferous and Permian floras and their ecosystem. Current research projects include: 1) A systematic study on Noeggerathialeas—A group of Palaeozoic plants with uncertain affinity, most poorly known Palaeozoic plant group. 2) A restoration of an early Permian peat-forming vegetation preserved in ash-fall tuff in Inner Mongolia. The tuff flora is an exceptionally well-preserved window to the palaeo-ecosystem of so-called Cathaysian Realm. 3) The evolution of Carboniferous and Permian floras under the background of Icehouse and Greenhouse transition. Carboniferous and Permian may be the only geo-historical time when the earth had well-developped vegetation and went through Icehouse and Greenhouse climatic changes. The principle of vegetational reponse to Icehouse-Greenhouse transition during Palaeozoic could be meaningful for understanding the vegetational change in response to the present Icehouse-Greenhouse transition.
