David C. Rex mostly deals with Geochemistry, Paleontology, Metamorphism, Seismology and Rift.
David C. Rex has included themes like Ophiolite, Granulite, Basement and Semail Ophiolite in his Geochemistry study.
The Island arc, Suture and Volcanism research he does as part of his general Paleontology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Field data, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
His research integrates issues of Hornblende, Shear zone, Magmatism and Collision zone in his study of Island arc.
His Metamorphism research includes elements of Nappe, Orogeny, Metamorphic rock, Eclogite and Metamorphic facies.
His studies deal with areas such as Lithosphere, Quaternary and Volcanic rock as well as Rift.
His most cited work include:
- The closing of Tethys and the tectonics of the Himalaya (561 citations)
- The evolution of excess argon in alpine biotites — A40Ar-39Ar analysis (274 citations)
- K‐Ar and Ar‐Ar geochronology of the Himalayan collision in NW Pakistan: Constraints on the timing of suturing, deformation, metamorphism and uplift (231 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Paleontology, Metamorphism, Metamorphic rock and Basalt.
His work in Geochemistry addresses issues such as Basement, which are connected to fields such as Precambrian and Kimberlite.
His research in Paleontology tackles topics such as Seismology which are related to areas like Absolute dating.
His work deals with themes such as Nappe, Metamorphic facies and Terrane, which intersect with Metamorphism.
He has researched Metamorphic rock in several fields, including Ordovician, Mineralogy and Paleozoic.
His Island arc research includes themes of Suture and Shear zone.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (59.52%)
- Paleontology (36.90%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
David C. Rex mainly investigates Geochemistry, Metamorphism, Paleontology, Petrology and Metamorphic rock.
His research investigates the connection with Geochemistry and areas like Granulite which intersect with concerns in Ultramafic rock.
His work carried out in the field of Metamorphism brings together such families of science as Syntaxis, Ophiolite, Metamorphic facies and Geomorphology.
Many of his research projects under Paleontology are closely connected to Extension and Ice-sheet model with Extension and Ice-sheet model, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
His Petrology study which covers Shear zone that intersects with Suture and Fault block.
His Metamorphic rock research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ordovician and Paleozoic.
Between 1993 and 2017, his most popular works were:
- Rift deflection, migration, and propagation: Linkage of the Ethiopian and Eastern rifts, Africa (178 citations)
- Tectonic development of the northern Taiizaiiian sector of the East African Rift System (154 citations)
