What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Igneous rock
- Basalt
His primary scientific interests are in Zircon, Geochemistry, Petrology, Mafic and Continental crust.
As part of one scientific family, Dan-Ping Yan deals mainly with the area of Zircon, narrowing it down to issues related to the Back-arc basin, and often Precambrian, Foreland basin, Crust, Island arc and Detritus.
His work on Partial melting as part of general Geochemistry research is frequently linked to Adakite, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Petrology research integrates issues from Rodinia and Supercontinent.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Basement, Greenschist, Gneiss, Metamorphic facies and Archean in addition to Supercontinent.
The concepts of his Mafic study are interwoven with issues in Subduction and Terrane.
His most cited work include:
- SHRIMP U-Pb zircon geochronological and geochemical evidence for Neoproterozoic arc-magmatism along the western margin of the Yangtze Block, South China. (707 citations)
- SHRIMP U-Pb zircon geochronological and geochemical evidence for Neoproterozoic arc-magmatism along the western margin of the Yangtze Block, South China. (707 citations)
- Reappraisal of the ages of Neoproterozoic strata in south China; no connection with the Grenvillian Orogeny (432 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Paleontology, Zircon, Tectonics and Petrology.
Dan-Ping Yan combines subjects such as Subduction, Pluton and Terrane with his study of Geochemistry.
His studies deal with areas such as Fractional crystallization, Basalt, Felsic, Provenance and Continental crust as well as Zircon.
His Petrology study incorporates themes from Precambrian, Rodinia and Supercontinent.
His research integrates issues of Basement and Archean in his study of Rodinia.
His Mesozoic research focuses on subjects like Seismology, which are linked to Schist and Metamorphic facies.

- Geochemistry (62.20%)
- Tectonics (30.49%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Paleontology, Geochemistry, Tectonics, Foreland basin and Fold are his primary areas of study.
His Clastic rock, Zircon and Protolith study in the realm of Geochemistry connects with subjects such as Blueschist.
The various areas that he examines in his Clastic rock study include Suture, Early Triassic, Detritus, Magmatism and Mafic.
His Tectonics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mineral deposit, Earth science and Archean.
His Foreland basin research incorporates themes from Sw china, Facies and Thrust fault.
The subject of his Fold research is within the realm of Petrology.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Early Cretaceous tectonic transition and SW‐ward basin migration in northern Liaodong Peninsula, NE China: Sedimentary, structural, and geochronological constraints (4 citations)
- Formation of the Late Triassic western Sichuan foreland basin of the Qinling Orogenic Belt, SW China: Sedimentary and geochronological constraints from the Xujiahe Formation (4 citations)
