     Leading the accretion and continental growth working group and directing the Chinese working groups to undertake a comparative study of continental growth (isotopic mapping) in the southern CAOB and CCOB in China.
   Born in 1959, Tao Wang is senior researcher and currently Deputy Director of the Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences (CAGS), China and specialized in tectonics and petrology. He completed his B.Sc. degree at Chengdu Geological University in 1982, his M.Sc. (1986) and Ph.D. (1997) in geology at Xi’an Geology University (College) and Northwest University. He worked at Peking University as post-doctoral researcher (1999-2011) and at Academia Sinica, Taiwan, as visiting scholar. His research is focused on the tectonics, granitoids, and continental growth. He completed and is in charge of several mega-projects supported by NNSFC and China Geological Survey. He was involved in numerous international collaborative projects. Taking part in the 1:5M International Geological Map of Asia, he was in charge of granite map compilation and research. He is now a chief scientist of First Grade Project of China Geological Survey (SGS), and in charge of the Key Program of Basic Geology Survey and mapping supported by SGS. He organized the First China-Russia meeting on the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (2015), and organized a symposium on the CAOB at IGC (Cape Town, South Africa, 2016). He was awarded the First Prize for survey and scientific research from the Chinese Ministry of Land and Resources (first prize fellow), and published more than 180 scientific papers.
