Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Igneous rock
  • Basalt
  • Geochemistry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Monazite, Pluton and Batholith. In general Geochemistry, his work in Zircon and Geochronology is often linked to Radiogenic nuclide linking many areas of study. As part of the same scientific family, Alain Cocherie usually focuses on Zircon, concentrating on Charnockite and intersecting with Gneiss.

Alain Cocherie interconnects Leucogranite and Isochron in the investigation of issues within Monazite. His Pluton research includes elements of Trace element and Basalt, Igneous differentiation. Alain Cocherie has included themes like Fractional crystallization, Felsic, Mafic, Igneous rock and Silicic in his Batholith study.

His most cited work include:

  • Geochemical investigations of the origin of the Manaslu leucogranite (Himalaya, Nepal) (223 citations)
  • Geochronology of polygenetic monazites constrained by in situ electron microprobe Th-U-total lead determination: implications for lead behaviour in monazite (212 citations)
  • The origin of atmospheric particles in Paris: a view through carbon and lead isotopes (142 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Zircon, Massif, Paleontology and Monazite. Alain Cocherie frequently studies issues relating to Pluton and Geochemistry. His Zircon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ordovician, Craton, Mineralogy, Petrology and Archean.

His Massif research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nappe, Viséan, Carboniferous, Migmatite and Geomorphology. His work on Basement, Terrane, Cretaceous and Ophiolite as part of his general Paleontology study is frequently connected to Metamorphic core complex, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. The various areas that Alain Cocherie examines in his Monazite study include Subduction, Partial melting, Electron microprobe, Isochron and Leucogranite.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (67.07%)
  • Zircon (42.68%)
  • Massif (32.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2017)?

  • Geochemistry (67.07%)
  • Zircon (42.68%)
  • Metamorphism (14.63%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Zircon, Metamorphism, Massif and Paleontology. The Geochemistry study which covers Petrology that intersects with Basalt. His study in the field of Monazite also crosses realms of European union.

His research integrates issues of Leucogranite, Metamorphic rock, Eclogite and Granulite in his study of Metamorphism. His research investigates the link between Massif and topics such as Carboniferous that cross with problems in Mylonite, Paleozoic, Isochron and Permian. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Nappe, Ordovician, Mineralogy and Gondwana.

Between 2010 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Timing of exhumation of the Ereendavaa metamorphic core complex (north-eastern Mongolia) – U–Pb and 40Ar/39Ar constraints (53 citations)
  • Geochronology and geochemistry of Ordovician felsic volcanism in the Southern Armorican Massif (Variscan belt, France): Implications for the breakup of Gondwana (52 citations)
  • Geochronological constraints on the polycyclic magmatism in the Bou Azzer-El Graara inlier (Central Anti-Atlas Morocco) (46 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Igneous rock
  • Basalt
  • Sedimentary rock

Alain Cocherie mainly focuses on Zircon, Felsic, Geochemistry, Rift and Paleontology. A large part of his Zircon studies is devoted to Monazite. The subject of his Felsic research is within the realm of Petrology.

He combines subjects such as Cretaceous, Metamorphic rock, Gondwana and Geochronology with his study of Rift. He focuses mostly in the field of Metamorphic rock, narrowing it down to topics relating to Igneous rock and, in certain cases, Hornblende, Shear zone and Tonian. His Massif research integrates issues from Subduction, Eclogite, Migmatite, Metamorphism and Mafic.
