Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Basalt
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Igneous rock

His primary areas of study are Geochemistry, Mantle, Basalt, Igneous rock and Mineralogy. His work on Continental crust, Crust and Diagenesis as part of general Geochemistry study is frequently linked to Neodymium, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Mantle research focuses on Earth science and how it connects with Batholith.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Flood basalt, Lava, Rift, Fractionation and Lithosphere in addition to Basalt. His work deals with themes such as Volcanic rock, Magma chamber, Petrology, Seawater and Silicic, which intersect with Igneous rock. His studies deal with areas such as Radiogenic nuclide, Trace element, Dissolution, Phanerozoic and Pore water pressure as well as Mineralogy.

His most cited work include:

  • Trace element and isotopic effects of combined wallrock assimilation and fractional crystallization (2542 citations)
  • Neodymium isotopes in the Colorado Front Range and crust–mantle evolution in the Proterozoic (1474 citations)
  • Intercalibration of standards, absolute ages and uncertainties in 40Ar/39Ar dating (1463 citations)

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

Donald J. DePaolo spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Mantle, Basalt and Environmental chemistry. His research on Geochemistry frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Oceanic crust. His Mineralogy course of study focuses on Dissolution and Silicate.

His research integrates issues of Lava, Lithosphere and Earth science in his study of Mantle. His Basalt research includes elements of Flood basalt, Plume and Radiogenic nuclide. Donald J. DePaolo interconnects Isotope fractionation and Isotopes of carbon in the investigation of issues within Environmental chemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (48.87%)
  • Mineralogy (35.32%)
  • Mantle (14.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (48.87%)
  • Mineralogy (35.32%)
  • Environmental chemistry (17.25%)

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

His main research concerns Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Environmental chemistry, Calcite and Isotope fractionation. His Geochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hydrothermal circulation and Magmatism. Donald J. DePaolo studies Mineralogy, focusing on Diagenesis in particular.

His Calcite research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Isotopes of oxygen and Kinetic fractionation. His research in Isotope fractionation focuses on subjects like Analytical chemistry, which are connected to Supersaturation. He has included themes like Subduction and Igneous rock in his Mantle study.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Plume/Lithosphere Interaction in the Generation of Continental and Oceanic Flood Basalts: Chemical and Isotopic Constraints (142 citations)
  • Postcollisional potassic and ultrapotassic rocks in southern Tibet: Mantle and crustal origins in response to India-Asia collision and convergence (106 citations)
  • The influence of kinetics on the oxygen isotope composition of calcium carbonate (99 citations)

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

  • Carbon dioxide
  • Basalt
  • Sedimentary rock

His primary areas of investigation include Mineralogy, Environmental chemistry, Calcite, Geochemistry and Dissolution. His Mineralogy research incorporates themes from Isotopes of carbon and Groundwater. His work carried out in the field of Environmental chemistry brings together such families of science as Isotope fractionation, Oxygen isotope ratio cycle, Isotopes of oxygen, Carbonate minerals and Calcium carbonate.

His work carried out in the field of Calcite brings together such families of science as Preferential flow, Dolomite and Kinetic fractionation. The Geochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Hydrothermal circulation and Magmatism. As a member of one scientific family, Donald J. DePaolo mostly works in the field of Dissolution, focusing on Surface roughness and, on occasion, Grain size, Clay minerals and QEMSCAN.
