Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Mineral
Igneous rock
Quartz

Colin M. Graham mainly investigates Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Zircon, Isotopes of oxygen and Hornblende. His research on Geochemistry frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Diffusion. His Mineralogy research incorporates themes from Magnetite and Anorthosite.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Metamorphism, Igneous rock and Early Earth in addition to Zircon. His study in Early Earth is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Narryer Gneiss Terrane, Acasta Gneiss and Yilgarn Craton. His work in Hornblende addresses issues such as Amphibole, which are connected to fields such as Analytical chemistry.

His most cited work include:

Evidence from detrital zircons for the existence of continental crust and oceans on the Earth 4.4 Gyr ago. (1106 citations)
A garnet–hornblende geothermometer: calibration, testing, and application to the Pelona Schist, Southern California (641 citations)
Oxygen isotope ratios and rare earth elements in 3.3 to 4.4 Ga zircons: Ion microprobe evidence for high δ 18 O continental crust and oceans in the Early Archean (240 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Analytical chemistry, Isotopes of oxygen and Metamorphic rock. His research integrates issues of Quartz and Hydrothermal circulation in his study of Mineralogy. His Geochemistry and Zircon, Dalradian, Igneous rock, Greenschist and Metamorphism investigations all form part of his Geochemistry research activities.

Colin M. Graham has researched Zircon in several fields, including Early Earth, Pluton and Crust. His studies deal with areas such as Zoisite, Albite and Fractionation as well as Analytical chemistry. His Isotopes of oxygen research incorporates elements of Radiochemistry, Concretion and Secondary ion mass spectrometry.

He most often published in these fields:

Mineralogy (49.40%)
Geochemistry (43.37%)
Analytical chemistry (22.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2017)?

Geochemistry (43.37%)
Quartz (16.87%)
Mineralogy (49.40%)

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

Colin M. Graham focuses on Geochemistry, Quartz, Mineralogy, Greenschist and Aquifer. His research related to Zircon and Kyanite might be considered part of Geochemistry. His Zircon research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Suture and Mafic.

The Mineralogy study combines topics in areas such as Albite and Plagioclase. His Greenschist study deals with Dalradian intersecting with Proterozoic and Carbonate rock. His Metamorphic rock research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Vein, Lithology and Mesothermal.

Between 2003 and 2017, his most popular works were:

Hydrogeochemical changes before and after a major earthquake (116 citations)
Cycling of B, Li, and LILE (K, Cs, Rb, Ba, Sr) into subduction zones: SIMS evidence from micas in high-P/T metasedimentary rocks (99 citations)
A composite C-isotope profile for the Neoproterozoic Dalradian Supergroup of Scotland and Ireland (90 citations)

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

Mineral
Quartz
Igneous rock

Colin M. Graham mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Aquifer, Mineralogy, Anticline and Carbon cycle. His research brings together the fields of Fracture zone and Geochemistry. His Aquifer research incorporates Ice age, Meteoric water, Seismology, Fault and 2008 California earthquake study.

Colin M. Graham undertakes multidisciplinary studies into Mineralogy and Lawsonite in his work. His research integrates issues of Petroleum reservoir and Dawsonite in his study of Anticline.
