Structural geology got a big progress in the last decade, and exhibits a big perspective in the future. This paper synthesizes in large-scale the advances and trends of structural geology and tectonics in the following four aspects: deep interior, deep sea, deep space and deep time. At the same time, four key techniques are also summarized in this paper, i. e. satellite laser altimetry for surface structural geometry in deep space and multi-beam mapping for sea floor in deep sea;tomography for deep structures in deep earth and other planets; many kinds of numerical modeling methods and software(ANSYS, COMSOL, FLAC and others)for dynamics in deep time; techniques of HT/HP experiment and in-situ measurement for materials.
