Evolution and International Comparison of Chinese Ediacaran Palaeobiota System, the research achievement of the team lead by Research Professor LIU Pengju, has organically integrated the scientific theories and methods of Paleontology, Biostratigraphy, Chemical Stratigraphy and Chronostratigraphy. Through years of research and exploration, major breakthrough was seen in the research of the biostratigraphy and chronostratigraphy of Ediacaran and the application was successful, solving the problem of the biostratigraphic and chronostratic division of Early-Middle Ediacaran in our country.

Magmatic Evolution of the South Margin Structure of Central Asian Orogenic Belt, the research achievement of the team led by Research Professor SHI Yuruo, has systematically revealed the geologic evolution characteristics of the South Margin of Central Asian Orogenic Belt through the long-term and profound research upon the widely exposed granite in the South Margin of Central Asian Orogenic Belt (including central Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang Mount Tianshan and Chinese Beishan).
