- Tectonics
Tectonics, Petrology, Crust, Geomorphology and Geophysics are his primary areas of study.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Fault, Metamorphic rock and Mountain range.
Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Terrane under Metamorphic rock, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Open-channel flow, Foreland basin, Fold and Shear zone.
His work in Petrology tackles topics such as Continental crust which are related to areas like Underplating, Craton, Volcanic passive margin and Continental margin.
His Crust research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Metamorphism and Subduction.
Christopher Beaumont focuses mostly in the field of Orogeny, narrowing it down to topics relating to Earth science and, in certain cases, Paleontology.
