What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
- Geochemistry
Ben-Xun Su mainly investigates Geochemistry, Mantle, Craton, Mafic and Zircon.
Geochemistry connects with themes related to Petrology in his study.
His primary area of study in Mantle is in the field of Metasomatism.
His work focuses on many connections between Craton and other disciplines, such as Olivine, that overlap with his field of interest in Forsterite and Lithosphere.
His Mafic research incorporates themes from Massif, Eclogite, Chromite and Ultramafic rock.
The Zircon study combines topics in areas such as Lile, Rift and Paleozoic.
His most cited work include:
- SIMS zircon U-Pb geochronology and Sr-Nd isotopes of Ni-Cu-Bearing Mafic-Ultramafic Intrusions in Eastern Tianshan and Beishan in correlation with flood basalts in Tarim Basin (NW China): Constraints on a ca. 280 Ma mantle plume (243 citations)
- U-Pb ages and Hf-O isotopes of zircons from Late Paleozoic mafic-ultramafic units in the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt: Tectonic implications and evidence for an Early-Permian mantle plume (203 citations)
- Compositions of chromite, associated minerals, and parental magmas of podiform chromite deposits: The role of slab contamination of asthenospheric melts in suprasubduction zone environments (158 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Geochemistry, Olivine, Mantle, Craton and Peridotite are his primary areas of study.
Geochemistry is closely attributed to Petrology in his research.
The concepts of his Olivine study are interwoven with issues in Fractional crystallization, Ophiolite, Chromite and Ultramafic rock.
Ben-Xun Su interconnects Chromitite, Amphibole, Isotope fractionation and Igneous differentiation in the investigation of issues within Chromite.
His study on Mantle also encompasses disciplines like
- Subduction, which have a strong connection to Lithosphere,
- Mantle wedge together with Eclogite.
His Craton research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Paleozoic, Protolith, Crust, Precambrian and Archean.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (125.00%)
- Olivine (53.85%)
- Mantle (53.85%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?
- Geochemistry (125.00%)
- Ophiolite (26.92%)
- Olivine (53.85%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Geochemistry, Ophiolite, Olivine, Chromite and Ultramafic rock.
His Geochemistry research includes themes of Granulite and Craton.
His Craton study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Xenolith, Basalt, Mineral resource classification and Archean.
In his research, Magma chamber is intimately related to Lithospheric mantle, which falls under the overarching field of Ophiolite.
His work in Olivine covers topics such as Peridotite which are related to areas like Cretaceous, Oceanic crust and Isotope fractionation.
His Ultramafic rock study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Layered intrusion and Mantle.
Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The complex life cycle of oceanic lithosphere: A study of Yarlung-Zangbo ophiolitic peridotites, Tibet (11 citations)
- The occurrence, origin and fate of water in chromitites in ophiolites (8 citations)
- Petrogenesis of the Ultramafic Zone of the Stillwater Complex in North America: constraints from mineral chemistry and stable isotopes of Li and O (5 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
- Geochemistry
His primary scientific interests are in Geochemistry, Ophiolite, Olivine, Chromite and Ultramafic rock.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Chromitite, Lithospheric mantle and Isotope fractionation.
His research in Chromitite intersects with topics in Poikilitic, Pyroxene, Layered intrusion, Trace element and Transition zone.
He has researched Chromite in several fields, including Phenocryst and Obduction.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Fractional crystallization and δ34S in addition to Metasomatism.
To a larger extent, he studies Mantle with the aim of understanding Partial melting.
