Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mineral
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Mineralogy, Weathering, Geochemistry, Quartz and Organic matter. Saprolite is closely connected to Parent rock in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Mineralogy. His study in Weathering is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biogenic silica, Clay minerals and Soil production function.

He combines subjects such as Volcano, Soil water, Horizon, Trachyte and Biogeochemical cycle with his study of Biogenic silica. His work on Supergene as part of general Geochemistry research is frequently linked to Spallation, bridging the gap between disciplines. In his work, Humus, Soil organic matter and Pedogenesis is strongly intertwined with Soil horizon, which is a subfield of Organic matter.

His most cited work include:

  • Plant impact on the biogeochemical cycle of silicon and related weathering processes (377 citations)
  • Biogenic silica storage in soils (150 citations)
  • In situ produced 10Be measurements at great depths: implications for production rates by fast muons (143 citations)

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

Fabrice Colin focuses on Weathering, Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Saprolite and Quartz. In his research on the topic of Weathering, Schist is strongly related with Gneiss. His biological study deals with issues like Supergene, which deal with fields such as Clay minerals.

His research in Geochemistry intersects with topics in Mineralization, Carbonate and Erosion. The Saprolite study combines topics in areas such as Duricrust, Calcite and Clastic rock. His study in the field of Vein also crosses realms of Cosmogenic nuclide.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Weathering (68.49%)
  • Mineralogy (61.64%)
  • Geochemistry (53.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2019)?

  • Geochemistry (53.42%)
  • Mineralogy (61.64%)
  • Weathering (68.49%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Weathering, Ultramafic rock and Erosion. His studies in Geochemistry integrate themes in fields like Soil water and Quartz. The study incorporates disciplines such as Saprolite and Oxide in addition to Mineralogy.

Fabrice Colin is interested in Spheroidal weathering, which is a field of Weathering. His Ultramafic rock study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mineralization, Eluvium, Chromite and Soil horizon. His work carried out in the field of Erosion brings together such families of science as Fluvial and Archean.

Between 2005 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Chemical and physical erosion rhythms of the West African Cenozoic morphogenesis: The 39 Ar- 40 Ar dating of supergene K-Mn oxides (72 citations)
  • Occurrence of mycorrhizal symbioses in the metal-rich lateritic soils of the Koniambo Massif, New Caledonia (52 citations)
  • Long-term tropical morphogenesis of New Caledonia (Southwest Pacific) : Importance of positive epeirogeny and climate change (46 citations)

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

  • Mineral
  • Sedimentary rock
  • Ecology

Fabrice Colin spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Erosion, Botany and Weathering. His Geochemistry study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Quartz. His Mineralogy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Parent rock, Ultramafic rock, Seawater, Chromite and Bedrock.

His Erosion research incorporates elements of Mining engineering, Rock types, Quadrangle and Fluvial. His Cyperaceae study, which is part of a larger body of work in Botany, is frequently linked to Bulliform cell and Phytolith, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Weathering research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Outcrop and Carbonate.
