- Crystallization and Layering of the Skaergaard Intrusion (545 citations)
- Petrology and geochemistry of the Galápagos Islands: Portrait of a pathological mantle plume (323 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Alexander R. McBirney mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Magma, Basalt, Volcano and Skaergaard intrusion.
Much of his study explores Geochemistry relationship to Plagioclase.
His research integrates issues of Pyroxene, Mineralogy, Petrology and Igneous differentiation in his study of Magma.
His studies in Basalt integrate themes in fields like Archipelago, Olivine, Volcanic rock, Asthenosphere and Hotspot.
His Volcano study also includes fields such as
- Igneous rock and related Viscosity,
- Earth science and related Caldera.
The concepts of his Skaergaard intrusion study are interwoven with issues in Recrystallization, Mineral resource classification and Layered intrusion.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Alexander R. McBirney mostly deals with Geochemistry, Mafic, Magma, Skaergaard intrusion and Igneous rock.
His Geochemistry study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Volcanism.
The various areas that he examines in his Mafic study include Metasomatism and Mineralogy.
His Magma study which covers Pyroxene that intersects with Ilmenite and Magnetite.
His Igneous rock research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Regional science, Maturity and Mineral resource classification.
His Basalt research incorporates themes from Trace element, Petrology and Cretaceous.
Between 2000 and 2015, his most popular works were:
- Hf–Nd isotope constraints on the origin of the Cretaceous Caribbean plateau and its relationship to the Galápagos plume (59 citations)
- The differentiation trend of the Skaergaard intrusion and the timing of magnetite crystallization: iron enrichment revisited (48 citations)
- Experimental and modeled chlorine solubilities in aluminosilicate melts at 1 to 7000 bars and 700 to 1250 °C: Applications to magmas of Augustine Volcano, Alaska (43 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Basalt
- Volcano
- Igneous rock
His primary areas of investigation include Mafic, Geochemistry, Pyroxene, Magma and Solubility.
His work on Mantle and Basalt as part of general Geochemistry study is frequently connected to Mantle plume, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
His Pyroxene research includes elements of Felsic, Metasomatism, Plagioclase, Gabbro and Ilmenite.
His Magma study focuses on Skaergaard intrusion in particular.
His Solubility research incorporates elements of Aqueous solution, Analytical chemistry, Mineralogy, Melt inclusions and Aluminosilicate.
