2022 - Research.com Earth Science in China Leader Award

Fellow of the Geological Society of America

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Geochemistry
  • Igneous rock
  • Basalt

His primary areas of investigation include Geochemistry, Craton, Petrology, Metamorphism and Zircon. His studies deal with areas such as Basement and Granulite as well as Geochemistry. He has included themes like Khondalite, Terrane and Archean in his Craton study.

His Petrology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Precambrian, Hornblende, Proterozoic and Volcanic rock. His work deals with themes such as Lineation, Subduction, Felsic and Metamorphic facies, which intersect with Metamorphism. His Zircon research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Adakite, Igneous rock, Partial melting, Porphyritic and Geochronology.

His most cited work include:

  • Late Archean to Paleoproterozoic evolution of the North China Craton: key issues revisited (1576 citations)
  • Archean blocks and their boundaries in the North China Craton: lithological, geochemical, structural and P–T path constraints and tectonic evolution (1308 citations)
  • Review of global 2.1-1.8 Ga orogens: implications for a pre-Rodinia supercontinent (1072 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geochemistry, Zircon, Craton, Petrology and Paleontology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Subduction and Terrane in addition to Geochemistry. In his study, Sedimentary rock is inextricably linked to Provenance, which falls within the broad field of Zircon.

His research in Craton focuses on subjects like Gneiss, which are connected to Protolith. Guochun Zhao works mostly in the field of Petrology, limiting it down to topics relating to Volcanic rock and, in certain cases, Basalt. His work carried out in the field of Metamorphism brings together such families of science as Khondalite and Metamorphic facies.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geochemistry (86.64%)
  • Zircon (54.91%)
  • Craton (48.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (86.64%)
  • Zircon (54.91%)
  • Paleontology (29.02%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geochemistry, Zircon, Paleontology, Terrane and Craton. The concepts of his Geochemistry study are interwoven with issues in Subduction and Carboniferous. His research investigates the link between Subduction and topics such as Metamorphism that cross with problems in Metamorphic rock.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Partial melting, Permian, Continental crust, Supercontinent and Precambrian. The Gondwana, Paleozoic and Archean research he does as part of his general Paleontology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as South china and Arc, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. The Craton study combines topics in areas such as Basement and Gneiss.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Jiangnan Orogen, South China: A ~970–820 Ma Rodinia margin accretionary belt (49 citations)
  • Jiangnan Orogen, South China: A ~970–820 Ma Rodinia margin accretionary belt (49 citations)
  • Episodic crustal growth and reworking of the Yudongzi terrane, South China: Constraints from the Archean TTGs and potassic granites and Paleoproterozoic amphibolites (29 citations)

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

  • Basalt
  • Igneous rock
  • Plate tectonics

Guochun Zhao spends much of his time researching Geochemistry, Zircon, Terrane, Paleontology and Subduction. Guochun Zhao has included themes like Ophiolite and Carboniferous in his Geochemistry study. His Zircon study incorporates themes from Paleozoic, Permian, Provenance, Craton and Basalt.

He interconnects Precambrian, Rodinia, Back-arc basin and Accretion in the investigation of issues within Terrane. When carried out as part of a general Paleontology research project, his work on Archean and Orogeny is frequently linked to work in Collision, Central asia and Plume, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. The concepts of his Subduction study are interwoven with issues in Metamorphism and Mantle.
