What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Sedimentary rock
- Igneous rock
- Basalt
Donald W. Davis mainly investigates Zircon, Geochemistry, Geochronology, Paleontology and Archean.
His Zircon study combines topics in areas such as Felsic, Igneous rock, Proterozoic, Phanerozoic and Isotopes of oxygen.
He has researched Geochemistry in several fields, including Craton, Pluton and Terrane.
His work carried out in the field of Geochronology brings together such families of science as Provenance, Mineralogy and Birimian.
His research investigates the connection between Mineralogy and topics such as Sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe that intersect with problems in Isotope dilution, Paleozoic and Diorite.
As a part of the same scientific study, Donald W. Davis usually deals with the Archean, concentrating on Crust and frequently concerns with Great Dyke, Limpopo Belt and Paleoarchean.
His most cited work include:
- TEMORA 1: a new zircon standard for Phanerozoic U–Pb geochronology (1722 citations)
- Improved 206Pb/238U microprobe geochronology by the monitoring of a trace-element-related matrix effect; SHRIMP, ID-TIMS, ELA-ICP-MS and oxygen isotope documentation for a series of zircon standards (1118 citations)
- Rapid eruption of Siberian flood-volcanic rocks and evidence for coincidence with the Permian–Triassic boundary and mass extinction at 251 Ma (392 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Geochemistry, Zircon, Geochronology, Paleontology and Archean are his primary areas of study.
Much of his study explores Geochemistry relationship to Terrane.
He combines subjects such as Craton, Metamorphism, Petrology, Mineralogy and Pluton with his study of Zircon.
His Mineralogy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Precambrian and Isotopes of oxygen.
Donald W. Davis works mostly in the field of Geochronology, limiting it down to topics relating to Provenance and, in certain cases, Plateau, Clastic rock, Sedimentary basin and Paleozoic.

Donald W. Davis spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Geochronology, Craton, Zircon and Calcite.
His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Tectonics, Terrane, Granulite and Cretaceous.
Geochronology is a subfield of Paleontology that Donald W. Davis studies.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Xenolith, Kimberlite, Ultramafic rock and Carbon isotope excursion in addition to Craton.
His studies in Zircon integrate themes in fields like Shear and Provenance.
In Calcite, Donald W. Davis works on issues like Molasse, which are connected to Petrology, Graben and Rift.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Appalachian-style multi-terrane Wilson cycle model for the assembly of South China: REPLY (42 citations)
- Improving paleohydrological and diagenetic reconstructions in calcite veins and breccia of a sedimentary basin by combining Δ47 temperature, δ18Owater and U-Pb age (24 citations)
