Born in November 1916, Prof. Wang Hongzhen was graduated from Department of Geology, Peking University in 1939, conferred Ph. D. Degree at Cambridge University, England in 1947, and elected Member of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1980. He had served as Professor of Geology in Peking University, Vice President of the Beijing College of Geology, and President of the Wuhan College of Geology, President of the Palaeontological Society of China, and Member of Standing Committee of CPPCC. Presently he is a Professor of China University of Geosciences and Vice President of the INHIGEO, IUGS. His research fields include palaeontology, stratigraphy, palaeogeography, tectonics, Precambrian geology and history of geology. His main achievements comprise: systematic classification, evolution, and world biogeography of rugose corals, tectono , bio and litho palaeogeography of China, and world reconstruction of the palaeocontinents. He has on these grounds formed a view of the earth's history based on mobilism in global tectonics combined with punctuated progression in historical development. Recently he has put forward with others a hierarchy scheme for sequence stratigraphy and its possible relation with cosmocycles, advanced the idea of universal rhythms of the earth and of Pangaea cycles, and suggested the possibility of punctuated, asymmetric and limited expansion in earth's history. He has published more than 180 papers, written and edited over 20 books, and was awarded the National Natural Science Prizes (First Class 1982, collective, Second Class 1987 and 1991), the Ho Leong Ho Lee Foundation Prize for Scientific and Technologic Progess (1994), and the Special Award of the Li Siguang (J. S. Lee) Foundation for Geology (1996).
