What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Igneous rock
- Basalt
- Geochemistry
Fu-Yuan Wu mainly focuses on Geochemistry, Zircon, Crust, Craton and Petrology.
Geochemistry is represented through his Continental crust, Igneous rock, Mafic, Petrogenesis and Archean research.
His studies deal with areas such as Subduction, Felsic, Metamorphism, Geochronology and Terrane as well as Zircon.
His Crust research incorporates themes from Proterozoic, Adakite, Mantle and Pluton.
Phanerozoic is closely connected to Paleozoic in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Craton.
His work deals with themes such as Fractional crystallization, Massif and Partial melting, which intersect with Petrology.
His most cited work include:
- Hf isotopic compositions of the standard zircons and baddeleyites used in U–Pb geochronology (1798 citations)
- Accurate U‐Pb Age and Trace Element Determinations of Zircon by Laser Ablation‐Inductively Coupled Plasma‐Mass Spectrometry (1012 citations)
- Nature and significance of the Early Cretaceous giant igneous event in eastern China (990 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Geochemistry, Zircon, Craton, Petrology and Mantle.
Mafic, Crust, Petrogenesis, Partial melting and Basalt are the core of his Geochemistry study.
His research integrates issues of Subduction, Metamorphism, Geochronology, Gneiss and Terrane in his study of Zircon.
His studies in Craton integrate themes in fields like Proterozoic, Igneous rock, Kimberlite and Archean.
His Petrology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Massif, Ophiolite and Pluton.
His research in Mantle intersects with topics in Trace element, Spinel and Lithosphere.
He most often published in these fields:
- Geochemistry (86.21%)
- Zircon (49.34%)
- Craton (25.73%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Geochemistry (86.21%)
- Zircon (49.34%)
- Mantle (22.55%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Zircon, Mantle, Metamorphism and Craton.
His Geochemistry research includes themes of Subduction, Ophiolite and Magmatism.
His work in Magmatism tackles topics such as Crust which are related to areas like Terrane.
His Zircon research incorporates elements of Volcanic rock, Continental crust, Mafic, Geochronology and Petrogenesis.
Fu-Yuan Wu works mostly in the field of Mantle, limiting it down to topics relating to Spinel and, in certain cases, Xenolith, as a part of the same area of interest.
His Craton research also works with subjects such as
- Kimberlite, which have a strong connection to Igneous rock,
- Massif which connect with Basement and Archean.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Highly fractionated granites: Recognition and research (174 citations)
- Destruction of the North China Craton in the Mesozoic (125 citations)
- Craton destruction and related resources (58 citations)
