Biography

Zhai Yusheng, male, Han nationality, is a native of Wenan, Hebei Province. He graduated from Beijing University in 1952 and received a postgraduate degree from the Changchun University of Earth Science in 1957.

Zhai Yusheng has carried out research in the field of mineral structure and proposed a mineralizing contact belt structural system and the structure-mineralizing mode of many ore deposits. He developed the study of mineral field structures, particularly the geometric analysis of the study of the dynamic coupling relationship between the structures and mineralizing, which opened up a new research field.

Zhai worked as the editor in chief of the first minerals field structure monograph in China. He established the minerals field structure science based on, the combination of structure research and causes of ore deposit formation, the combination of single structural study and the study of structural systems. He also studied the combination of minerals field structural study and aerial structure study and the combination of structural development stages and geologic belt divisions. With regard to metallic gitology, Zhai reestablished the lithogenous and mineralizing process of anorthosite and iron mine in Damiao, Hebei Province. He determined the cause of the iron-rich ore deposit in east Hunan Province and discovered new types of iron mine. Based on his mineralizing system structure, Zhai compiled the first monograph of a comprehensive aerial mineralization science.

Zhai is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
