What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
- Geochemistry
Bernard Bourdon mainly investigates Geochemistry, Mantle, Chondrite, Meteorite and Astrobiology.
He combines subjects such as Isotope geochemistry, Earth science and Island arc with his study of Geochemistry.
His research on Mantle often connects related topics like Archean.
A large part of his Chondrite studies is devoted to Chondrule.
His research in Astrobiology intersects with topics in Terrestrial planet and Isotopes of oxygen.
Isotope fractionation is closely connected to Analytical chemistry in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Enstatite.
His most cited work include:
- Element transport from slab to volcanic front at the Mariana arc (1010 citations)
- Hf-W chronology of the accretion and early evolution of asteroids and terrestrial planets (434 citations)
- Late formation and prolonged differentiation of the Moon inferred from W isotopes in lunar metals. (358 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Bernard Bourdon focuses on Geochemistry, Mantle, Mineralogy, Fractionation and Basalt.
While the research belongs to areas of Geochemistry, Bernard Bourdon spends his time largely on the problem of Parent body, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Closure temperature.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Trace element and Petrology in addition to Mantle.
His Fractionation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Environmental chemistry, Biogeochemical cycle, Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and Weathering.
His Basalt research focuses on Upwelling and how it relates to Volcano.
His Isotope fractionation study deals with Analytical chemistry intersecting with Chondrite.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (38.69%)
- Mantle (39.88%)
- Mineralogy (26.19%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2018)?
- Fractionation (24.40%)
- Mineralogy (26.19%)
- Mantle (39.88%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Bernard Bourdon spends much of his time researching Fractionation, Mineralogy, Mantle, Isotope fractionation and Analytical chemistry.
Bernard Bourdon has researched Fractionation in several fields, including Mercury, Environmental chemistry, Biogeochemical cycle and Isotopes of calcium.
When carried out as part of a general Mineralogy research project, his work on Nepheline syenite is frequently linked to work in Thermal ionization mass spectrometry, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His Mantle study contributes to a more complete understanding of Geochemistry.
In his study, Thermal is inextricably linked to Chondrite, which falls within the broad field of Isotope fractionation.
His study in Analytical chemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Equilibrium fractionation and Mass-independent fractionation.
Between 2012 and 2018, his most popular works were:
- Rb–Sr chronology of volatile depletion in differentiated protoplanets: BABI, ADOR and ALL revisited (77 citations)
- Rb–Sr chronology of volatile depletion in differentiated protoplanets: BABI, ADOR and ALL revisited (77 citations)
- Inherited 142Nd anomalies in Eoarchean protoliths (61 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
- Volcano
Bernard Bourdon mostly deals with Fractionation, Equilibrium fractionation, Mass-independent fractionation, Mineral redox buffer and Mineralogy.
His Fractionation research incorporates elements of Environmental chemistry, Mercury and Contamination.
The various areas that Bernard Bourdon examines in his Environmental chemistry study include Isotope analysis, Industrial pollution and Roasting.
Bernard Bourdon integrates Mercury and Total hg in his studies.
His Equilibrium fractionation research is included under the broader classification of Isotope fractionation.
