Chusi Li studies the geology and geochemistry of ore deposits, examining how volcanic and magmatic processes form economically important metal deposits such as gold, copper, nickel, and iron-titanium-vanadium. Much of the work focuses on rock chemistry, isotopes, and mineral analysis in regions of China, using these clues to understand both deposit formation and large-scale tectonic history. Studies span major geologic settings including the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, the Emeishan large igneous province, and the Tibetan Plateau.
