His work deals with themes such as Metamorphic rock, Precambrian, Greenstone belt and Basement, which intersect with Zircon.
His work in Metamorphism tackles topics such as Eclogite which are related to areas like Index mineral, Amphibole and Peridotite.
His Continental crust study incorporates themes from Terrane, Accretion, Forearc, Continental margin and Oceanic crust.
His Archean research incorporates themes from Igneous rock and Proterozoic.
His most cited work include:
- Tectonic models for accretion of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (2014 citations)
- Accretionary orogens through Earth history (591 citations)
- Reassessment of continental growth during the accretionary history of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (552 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Geochemistry, Zircon, Metamorphism, Craton and Gneiss.
His study in Geochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Granulite and Petrology.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Precambrian, Felsic, Basement and Terrane.
His work focuses on many connections between Metamorphism and other disciplines, such as Supercontinent, that overlap with his field of interest in Rodinia.
His Craton study also includes fields such as
- Ophiolite most often made with reference to Subduction,
- Pluton that intertwine with fields like Hornblende.
His work carried out in the field of Gneiss brings together such families of science as Anatexis, Igneous rock, Proterozoic and Geochronology.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (78.63%)
- Zircon (56.23%)
- Metamorphism (28.24%)
