His primary areas of investigation include Archean, Geochemistry, Felsic, Craton and Greenstone belt.
He interconnects Environmental chemistry, Anoxic waters and Nitrogen cycle in the investigation of issues within Archean.
His Felsic research includes elements of Pluton and Zircon.
The concepts of his Craton study are interwoven with issues in Siliciclastic, Protolith, Volcanic rock, Continental crust and Basalt.
His Siliciclastic research incorporates elements of Rhyolite, Sedimentary rock, Greenschist, Metamorphism and Supergroup.
His work carried out in the field of Greenstone belt brings together such families of science as Igneous rock, Metasomatism, Apatite, Fluorapatite and Banded iron formation.
