［2025福建泉州质检］Dr. Marie - Luce Chevalier, a Belgian/French geologist(地质学家), has been working as a research professor at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences in Beijing since 2010.
For the past years, she has been studying active faults in the Qinghai - Tibet Plateau and how they move. In 2021, Chevalier was presented with the Chinese Government Friendship Award in appreciation of her contributions to the development of China’s disaster assessment system of the earthquake and the promotion of cooperation and exchanges between China and other countries.
Chevalier’s choice of China as a research destination was not made by chance. Her research has primarily focused on the Qinghai - Tibet Plateau. She also cooperated with Chinese scientists from the beginning of her master’s program. “When they asked if I wanted to join their team after my post - doctorate(博士后) research, I gladly accepted and had no regrets. My fourteen years in China have provided me with a constant source of fresh personal and professional experiences,” she said, adding that her mother’s interest in Chinese culture contributed to her decision to work in the country.
Chevalier will continue to research active faults in and around Xizang actively and contribute to our understanding of how past climate developed to work towards predicting future climate change, another topic near and dear to her heart. She will achieve this by conducting field research, sharing her findings with the scientific community, teaching students who will become tomorrow’s scientists, and raising awareness among local populations about the risks they may face in their lifetime.
Chevalier’s mother went to Xizang once, realising her lifelong dreams. Chevalier keeps raising her daughter in this secure and highly international environment, Beijing. When people ask her daughter where she is from at four years old, she proudly answers, “China!” Chevalier wants to learn more about the Chinese language and culture, continue to enjoy the happiness of the Chinese people, and look forward to seeing what China achieves next!
