In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Carlo Laj mostly deals with Paleontology, Oceanography, Sediment core, Volcano and Earth's magnetic field. His work in Paleomagnetism and Radiocarbon dating is related to Paleontology. His study in Paleomagnetism is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Seismology, Paleointensity, Stack and Indian ocean.

His Oceanography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Structural basin and Sediment. His Volcano research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Stratigraphy and Physical geography. His work carried out in the field of Earth's magnetic field brings together such families of science as Period, Geophysics and Variation.

Between 2012 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Links between tropical rainfall and North Atlantic climate during the last glacial period (200 citations)
  • High resolution global paleointensity stack since 75 kyr (GLOPIS-75) calibrated to absolute values (126 citations)
  • Dynamics of the earth magnetic field in the 10-75 kyr period comprising the Laschamp and Mono Lake excursions: New results from the French Chaîne des Puys in a global perspective (62 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Paleontology
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Plate tectonics

Carlo Laj spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Volcano, Paleomagnetism, Seismology and Jaramillo reversal. Carlo Laj combines subjects such as Environmental change, Inlet and Indian ocean with his study of Paleontology. His Volcano research integrates issues from Holocene, Sediment and Facies.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Paleointensity, Stack and Physical geography. His Seismology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Geomagnetic reversal and Earth's magnetic field. In his works, Carlo Laj conducts interdisciplinary research on Earth's magnetic field and Excursion.
