Hongcheng Guo's research focuses on understanding the thermal and tectonic history of rocks using techniques like apatite (U-Th)/He thermochronometry, a method that uses the accumulation and diffusion of helium in mineral grains to date when rocks cooled and reconstruct uplift and erosion histories. The work spans topics such as mountain-building processes in the Himalaya and Altai region, basin sediment reservoir quality, and links between deep-Earth carbon release and past climate change. This research combines laboratory heating experiments, geochemical analysis, and geologic field observations to study how tectonic and climatic processes interact over millions of years.
Publication output has been variable but shows increased activity in the most recent years (2021, 2024, 2025) compared to a slower period around 2019 and 2023.
