What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
- Geochemistry
Alex N. Halliday mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Mantle, Mineralogy, Astrobiology and Basalt.
Igneous rock, Radiogenic nuclide, Partial melting, Crust and Isochron dating are the core of his Geochemistry study.
He combines subjects such as Volatiles, Terrestrial planet, Silicate and Oceanic crust with his study of Mantle.
The Silicate study which covers Analytical chemistry that intersects with Isotope and Uranium.
Alex N. Halliday interconnects Seawater, Isotopes of strontium, Isotope fractionation and Paleozoic in the investigation of issues within Mineralogy.
When carried out as part of a general Astrobiology research project, his work on Meteorite and Origin of the Moon is frequently linked to work in Billion years, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His most cited work include:
- Nature of the Earth's earliest crust from hafnium isotopes in single detrital zircons (530 citations)
- Early-middle archaean crustal evolution deduced from Lu-Hf and U-Pb isotopic studies of single zircon grains (484 citations)
- Core formation on Mars and differentiated asteroids (454 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Isotope, Mantle and Basalt.
His research integrates issues of Silicate and Meteorite in his study of Geochemistry.
His Mineralogy research integrates issues from Seawater, Hydrothermal circulation and Isotope fractionation.
His research investigates the connection between Isotope and topics such as Chondrite that intersect with issues in Formation and evolution of the Solar System.
He has researched Mantle in several fields, including Lithosphere and Oceanic crust.
His Basalt research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Trace element and Volcanic rock.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Geochemistry, Isotope, Mineralogy, Oceanography and Chondrite are his primary areas of study.
His work carried out in the field of Geochemistry brings together such families of science as Isotopes of silicon and Silicate.
His studies deal with areas such as Ferromanganese, Vanadium and Analytical chemistry as well as Isotope.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Stable isotope ratio and Table.
His Oceanography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Glacial period and Sediment.
His Chondrite research incorporates themes from Isotope geochemistry and Isotopes of vanadium.
Between 2008 and 2019, his most popular works were:
- Hf-W chronology of the accretion and early evolution of asteroids and terrestrial planets (434 citations)
- The origins of volatiles in the terrestrial planets (130 citations)
- The hafnium–neodymium isotopic composition of Atlantic seawater (112 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
- Paleontology
Alex N. Halliday mainly investigates Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Mantle, Weathering and Silicate.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Stable isotope ratio and Isotopes of silicon in addition to Geochemistry.
Alex N. Halliday studied Mineralogy and Isotope that intersect with Silicon, Fractionation and Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.
As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Mantle, focusing on Chondrite and, on occasion, Terrestrial planet.
His Weathering research includes themes of Soil water and Radiogenic nuclide.
His Silicate study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Basalt, Mafic and Ultramafic rock.
