Gary R. Byerly mostly deals with Geochemistry, Greenstone belt, Basalt, Archean and Zircon.
His Meteorite research extends to Geochemistry, which is thematically connected.
His Greenstone belt research incorporates themes from Stratigraphy and Petrology.
His Basalt study combines topics in areas such as Pyroxene, Mineralogy, Olivine, Majorite and Metamorphism.
Gary R. Byerly frequently studies issues relating to Lava and Archean.
He has researched Zircon in several fields, including Craton, Felsic, Magmatism and Geochronology.
His most cited work include:
- Chronology of early Archaean granite-greenstone evolution in the Barberton Mountain Land, South Africa, based on precise dating by single zircon evaporation (280 citations)
- Chemical Diversity of Abyssal Volcanic Glass Erupted Along Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Ocean Sea‐Floor Spreading Centers (218 citations)
- Prolonged magmatism and time constraints for sediment deposition in the early Archean Barberton greenstone belt: evidence from the Upper Onverwacht and Fig Tree groups (172 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Geochemistry, Greenstone belt, Archean, Basalt and Mineralogy.
His is doing research in Volcanic rock, Mantle, Crust, Continental crust and Olivine, both of which are found in Geochemistry.
His Greenstone belt study incorporates themes from Felsic, Sedimentary rock, Ultramafic rock, Petrology and Zircon.
His research integrates issues of Igneous rock and Pluton in his study of Zircon.
The various areas that he examines in his Archean study include Lava, Silicate, Early Earth and Meteorite.
His Basalt study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Magnetic anomaly, Ridge, Archaeology and Group.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Greenstone belt, Archean, Mantle and Zircon.
Hadean, Continental crust, Early Earth, Crust and Heavy mineral are subfields of Geochemistry in which his conducts study.
His work carried out in the field of Greenstone belt brings together such families of science as Sedimentary depositional environment, Sedimentary rock, Pyroclastic rock and Mafic.
His Archean study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Felsic, Earth science, Unconformity, Lava and Solar System.
His Felsic research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Diachronous, Ultramafic rock, Lithology and Volcanic rock.
His studies in Mantle integrate themes in fields like Petrology and Transition zone.
Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Detrital zircon geochronology of sandstones of the 3.6-3.2 Ga Barberton greenstone belt: No evidence for older continental crust (25 citations)
- Deep hydrous mantle reservoir provides evidence for crustal recycling before 3.3 billion years ago (23 citations)
- The terrestrial record of Late Heavy Bombardment (19 citations)
