What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Basalt
- Igneous rock
- Geochemistry
His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Mantle, Basalt, Continental crust and Crust.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Subduction, Mantle wedge and Oceanic crust in addition to Geochemistry.
His Mantle research includes themes of Volcano, Transition zone, Mantle plume, Lithosphere and Mineralogy.
As a part of the same scientific family, Chris J. Hawkesworth mostly works in the field of Basalt, focusing on Flood basalt and, on occasion, Lava.
His research in Continental crust intersects with topics in Earth science, Anatexis, Craton and Continental margin.
His Crust research incorporates elements of Archean, Isotopes of oxygen and Zircon.
His most cited work include:
- Magmatic and Crustal Differentiation History of Granitic Rocks from Hf-O Isotopes in Zircon (813 citations)
- Post-collision, Shoshonitic Volcanism on the Tibetan Plateau: Implications for Convective Thinning of the Lithosphere and the Source of Ocean Island Basalts (742 citations)
- Sea-land oxygen isotopic relationships from planktonic foraminifera and speleothems in the Eastern Mediterranean region and their implication for paleorainfall during interglacial intervals (695 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Geochemistry, Mantle, Continental crust, Basalt and Crust are his primary areas of study.
His work in Geochemistry tackles topics such as Subduction which are related to areas like Petrology.
His study in Mantle is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Mantle plume, Lithosphere, Mantle wedge, Igneous rock and Oceanic crust.
He focuses mostly in the field of Continental crust, narrowing it down to topics relating to Earth science and, in certain cases, Tectonics.
The Basalt study combines topics in areas such as Flood basalt and Magma.
His Trace element research incorporates themes from Mineralogy and Radiogenic nuclide.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (76.94%)
- Mantle (28.24%)
- Continental crust (23.53%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

Chris J. Hawkesworth spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Continental crust, Zircon, Crust and Plate tectonics.
Chris J. Hawkesworth combines subjects such as Mineralogy, Magmatism and Supercontinent with his study of Geochemistry.
His studies deal with areas such as Subduction and Continental margin as well as Continental crust.
His Zircon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Basement, Trace element, Earth science and Magma.
His Partial melting study, which is part of a larger body of work in Crust, is frequently linked to Flow, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Igneous rock research focuses on Tectonics and how it connects with Mantle.
