What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Igneous rock
- Basalt
- Geochemistry
His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Ultramafic rock, Craton, Felsic and Chromite.
Greenstone belt, Pyroxene, Olivine, Archean and Mafic are the core of his Geochemistry study.
Specifically, his work in Ultramafic rock is concerned with the study of Great Dyke.
As a member of one scientific family, Allan H. Wilson mostly works in the field of Craton, focusing on Mantle and, on occasion, Oceanic crust.
His Felsic research focuses on subjects like Peridotite, which are linked to Layered intrusion, Trace element, Continental crust and Igneous differentiation.
His Chromite research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Chromitite and Spinel.
His most cited work include:
- The Geology of the Great 'Dyke', Zimbabwe: The Ultramafic Rocks (201 citations)
- The Bushveld Complex was emplaced and cooled in less than one million years – results of zirconology, and geotectonic implications (159 citations)
- PGE Tenor and Metal Ratios within and below the Merensky Reef, Bushveld Complex: Implications for its Genesis (119 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Ultramafic rock, Craton, Archean and Greenstone belt.
His study in Mafic, Zircon, Felsic, Basalt and Mantle is done as part of Geochemistry.
His work deals with themes such as Mineralization, Olivine, Layered intrusion and Peridotite, which intersect with Ultramafic rock.
His work in Craton tackles topics such as Petrology which are related to areas like Pluton.
His Archean research also works with subjects such as
- Basement that connect with fields like Clastic rock,
- Subduction which intersects with area such as Rodinia.
His research investigates the connection between Great Dyke and topics such as Magma chamber that intersect with problems in Chromitite.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (88.51%)
- Ultramafic rock (32.18%)
- Craton (27.59%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Geochemistry (88.51%)
- Craton (27.59%)
- Mafic (20.69%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Allan H. Wilson focuses on Geochemistry, Craton, Mafic, Archean and Felsic.
Zircon, Greenstone belt, Mantle, Basalt and Melt inclusions are among the areas of Geochemistry where he concentrates his study.
Allan H. Wilson focuses mostly in the field of Zircon, narrowing it down to matters related to Fractional crystallization and, in some cases, Andesite, Rutile, Petrography and Petrology.
His Ultramafic rock research extends to the thematically linked field of Mafic.
His research integrates issues of Sedimentary rock, Siliciclastic and Terrane in his study of Archean.
His Felsic study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Metamorphism and Igneous rock.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Deep hydrous mantle reservoir provides evidence for crustal recycling before 3.3 billion years ago (23 citations)
- In Situ Sr isotopes in Plagioclase and Trace Element Systematics in the Lowest Part of the Eastern Bushveld Complex: Dynamic Processes in an Evolving Magma Chamber (22 citations)
- The origin of highly radiogenic Hf isotope compositions in 3.33 Ga Commondale komatiite lavas (South Africa) (22 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Igneous rock
- Basalt
- Geochemistry
Allan H. Wilson mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Mantle, Trace element, Archean and Craton.
His Geochemistry investigation overlaps with In situ and Hafnium.
His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Olivine and Mantle.
His Archean study combines topics in areas such as Basement, Provenance, Detritus and Zircon.
His study connects Sedimentary rock and Craton.
Allan H. Wilson has included themes like Crust, Melt inclusions, Crustal recycling, Oceanic crust and Geodynamics in his Transition zone study.
