What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Igneous rock
- Basalt
His main research concerns Geochemistry, Zircon, Archean, Gneiss and Metamorphism.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Metamorphic facies and Petrology in addition to Geochemistry.
His study in Zircon is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Felsic, Mafic, Proterozoic and Igneous rock.
His Archean study frequently links to other fields, such as Crust.
His work deals with themes such as Protolith, Earth science, Terrane and Geochronology, which intersect with Gneiss.
Allen P. Nutman has researched Metamorphism in several fields, including Metamorphic rock and Precambrian.
His most cited work include:
- Remnants of ≥3800 Ma crust in the Chinese part of the Sino-Korean craton (1033 citations)
- Evidence for life on Earth before 3,800 million years ago. (944 citations)
- 3800 to 2500 Ma crustal evolution in the Anshan area of Liaoning Province, northeastern China (488 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Zircon, Archean, Gneiss and Metamorphism.
His studies in Geochemistry integrate themes in fields like Metamorphic facies, Petrology and Terrane.
His Zircon research includes elements of Mafic, Craton, Igneous rock and Geochronology.
His Archean research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Precambrian, Earth science, Continental crust and Ultramafic rock.
His Gneiss research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Anatexis, Partial melting and Isochron.
