Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Basalt
  • Paleontology
  • Geochemistry

Francis Albarède spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Mantle, Basalt, Mineralogy and Isotope. Francis Albarède combines subjects such as Subduction and Oceanic crust with his study of Geochemistry. His work on Peridotite as part of general Mantle research is often related to Liquidus, thus linking different fields of science.

The concepts of his Basalt study are interwoven with issues in Flood basalt, Hydrothermal circulation, Mafic, Phenocryst and Oceanography. Francis Albarède has researched Mineralogy in several fields, including Eclogite, Igneous rock, Seawater, Isotope fractionation and Isochron dating. His research integrates issues of Mass spectrometry and Analytical chemistry in his study of Isotope.

His most cited work include:

  • The Lu-Hf isotope geochemistry of chondrites and the evolution of the mantle-crust system (2307 citations)
  • Precise analysis of copper and zinc isotopic compositions by plasma-source mass spectrometry (867 citations)
  • Relationships between Lu–Hf and Sm–Nd isotopic systems in the global sedimentary system (770 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Mantle, Isotope, Basalt and Mineralogy. His Geochemistry study frequently links to other fields, such as Oceanic crust. His Mantle research incorporates elements of Subduction, Hotspot and Archean.

His Isotope research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fractionation, Zinc, Chondrite and Analytical chemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Volcano, Volcanic rock and Hydrothermal circulation as well as Basalt. His primary area of study in Mineralogy is in the field of Olivine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (44.90%)
  • Mantle (23.98%)
  • Isotope (18.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (44.90%)
  • Isotope (18.62%)
  • Sulfur (3.83%)

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

Francis Albarède focuses on Geochemistry, Isotope, Sulfur, Isotope fractionation and Proterozoic. His study connects Allende meteorite and Geochemistry. His work in Isotope addresses subjects such as Fractionation, which are connected to disciplines such as Mass spectrometry and Amino acid.

His work carried out in the field of Sulfur brings together such families of science as Environmental chemistry and Stable isotope ratio. His research on Proterozoic also deals with topics like

  • Archean together with Craton, Continental crust, Earth science, Crust and Tectonics,
  • Gondwana, Terrane, Gabbro, Fold and Igneous rock most often made with reference to Mafic. His Mantle study combines topics in areas such as Soil water and Water content.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Zinc and its role in immunity and inflammation (258 citations)
  • Natural variations of copper and sulfur stable isotopes in blood of hepatocellular carcinoma patients. (75 citations)
  • Copper isotope effect in serum of cancer patients. A pilot study (57 citations)

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

  • Paleontology
  • Basalt
  • Volcano

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Archaeology, Copper, Mantle and Isotope. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Cancer under Biochemistry, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Hypoxia, Cancer research, Hepatocellular carcinoma and Carcinoma. His Archaeology study incorporates themes from Silt, Trace element, River mouth and Siltation.

The various areas that Francis Albarède examines in his Copper study include Fractionation, Stable isotope ratio and Parenchyma. His biological study focuses on Continental crust. Francis Albarède is studying Isotopes of copper, which is a component of Isotope.
