He took a lead in carrying out geophysical detection in Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea and East China Sea, systematically studied the tectonic framework and hydrocarbon potential of continental shallow sea as well as the crustal feature and evolution of Okinawa Trough.
Professor Jin Xianglong also obtained important evidence about deep-sea crust's attribution in South China Sea and discovered manganese crust with cobalt and continental slope basin with hydrocarbon potential. In term of ocean mineral exploration and development, Prof. Jin Xianglong made major contributions in technological debate and obtained 150000 km2 of ideal mining area in the East Pacific Ocean for China and also made China the fifth pioneer investment country in international seabed in the world. In the meantime, Prof. Jin Xianglong undertook national key project “Exploration and Research of Ocean Polymetallic Mineral Resources”, thus making important contributions for China to be an internationally advanced country in ocean exploration and researches.
Prof. Jin Xianglong is now doctoral supervisor for Institute of Oceanology of the CAS, Zhejiang University, China University of Geosciences both in Wuhan and in Beijing. He also serves as professor in Shandong University of Technology and Honorary Dean in College of Resources and Environmental Engineering.
