What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Duncan Pirrie focuses on Paleontology, Cretaceous, Mineralogy, Sedimentary rock and Geochemistry.
His study in the field of Lithostratigraphy and Clastic rock also crosses realms of Back-arc basin and Palynology.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Biostratigraphy and Structural basin, Mesozoic in addition to Cretaceous.
His research integrates issues of Texture and Automated mineralogy, Mineral, QEMSCAN in his study of Mineralogy.
His Sedimentary rock study incorporates themes from Sedimentary depositional environment, Outcrop, Sequence and Facies.
His work on Ultramafic rock and Chromite is typically connected to Laurite, Sperrylite and Layered intrusion as part of general Geochemistry study, connecting several disciplines of science.
